Food Tech Congress 2024 | Food Tech Congress | 28 May 2024 | Sofitel Warsaw Victoria, Królewska 11, 00-065 Warszawa, Poland

Here, at this events, we believe in the power of tech, entrepreneurship and networking to push the food industry forward and speed up the revolution. It is only through this collaborative effort that we can truly make a difference and build a better tomorrow.

This is where innovation thrives, bold ideas spark and business gets done. In two action-packed days, we host the most prominent food tech entrepreneurs, innovators, investors, and government leaders from all around the globe to solve the pressing challenges of the industry.

For the upcoming edition, we’re changing things up with 12 brand new conference themes. From food as medicine to alternative proteins, food waste and agritech 5.0, our discussions will draw you in and drive you forward.

Who Attends?

Our event is curated for those who prefer quality over quantity. At this events, we focus on building connections that actually matter. Here, you won’t get lost in a crowd of people that are not entirely relevant to your field. Our attendees are key industry leaders ready to challenge the status quo. Join us and meet 1000+ like-minded innovators, founders, CEOs, investors, corporations and policy shapers on a mission to accelerate the food tech revolution.
