About the event

Hosted by FoodFakty and the Łódź University of Technology, this summit brings together over 100 experts and 500+ attendees across 20+ sessions organized into 5 thematic tracks: Future of Food, Food Safety, Packaging, Sustainability, and Research & Process Control. The event offers a well-rounded format of panels, workshops, and networking opportunities. Key topics include:
  • Alternative protein sources (including insect-based and novel foods)
  • Microbiome and functional foods
  • Food safety challenges (adulteration, allergens)
  • Use of recycled materials in food packaging
Under the auspices of government ministries and with strong scientific partnerships, the Summit fosters cross-sector dialogue among academia, industry, and regulators to co-create solutions for tomorrow's food system.

ILSI Europe's presentation

ILSI Europe will participate in the Food For Tomorrow Summit with a presentation showcasing the organisation and the key activities of its Food Safety Task Forces.
