The Future of Food Innovation

4 jun. 2026 20:00 - 21:30
De Balie, Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen 10, 1017 RR Amsterdam

Join us in Amsterdam for an evening on the future of food innovation. What are our strengths and weaknesses? What do we need to make food innovation a success and what Europe can learn from other parts of the world like Singapore and the US?

We’re bringing together founders, investors, policy experts, and industry leaders for a moderated discussion on how Europe can accelerate innovation in food, fermentation, and sustainable production technologies. 

The conversation will explore:

  • The future of alternative proteins and food tech in Europe 

  • Insights from other parts of the world like Singapore and the US

  • The current dynamics in the European policy field

  • Lessons learned from food innovators 

Panel 1: Regulatory  

  • Hidde Boersma - WePlanet 

  • Anna Handschuh - Ministry of Future Affairs 

  • Mathilde Do Chi – Forward Food Law 

Panel 2: Industry Insights 

  • Yvonne Dommels – The Protein Brewery 

  • Moayad Abushokhedim – Fooditive Group 

  • Rik Pantjes – Invest NL 

The set-up is a fishbowl discussion, so we value your input during the evening. The event will take place at De Balie in Amsterdam ( Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen 10,1017 RR Amsterdam). 

Europe has the talent, scientific excellence, and entrepreneurial ambition to lead the next generation of food innovation. By bringing together start-ups, investors, policy-makers, and industry experts, we can help build the conditions for sustainable and globally competitive food systems to thrive here in Europe.
