Food Tech Event: Discover the latest techniques, innovations and technological developments

Discover the latest techniques, innovations and technological developments for food production and processing 

Food producers and processors are working tirelessly to improve our food supply: not only must it be tastier, healthier and fresher, but it must also keep longer and longer. This requires faster, more efficient and sustainable processes with minimal waste. Here, quality assurance, food safety, hygiene and process optimization are essential. 

The Food Tech Event on May 15 and 16 in the Brabanthallen in 's-Hertogenbosch brings together the entire food chain to work together on solutions to current and future challenges. Think of a more sustainable supply chain and the increasing production costs of food. 

Technical solutions with focus on current practice

The Food Tech Event puts a strong focus on technical applications and mechanical engineering in production and processing environments in the food and beverage industry. "Where the focus is often on the food of the future, the Food Tech Event is about the technical solutions of today and tomorrow," said Judith van den Nieuwenhuijzen, Program Manager Food Tech Event at Mikrocentrum. "We see food producers and processors working tirelessly every day to improve our food, but also that the needs from society are changing dramatically. This calls for ever faster, more efficient and sustainable production and processing of food and
beverage companies, but also to reduce waste. These are current challenges where practical applicable technical solutions really make a difference!"

Technology fuels the future of the food industry

Under the slogan "Technology fuels the future of the food industry," the Food Tech Event focuses on six themes. Van den Nieuwenhuijzen says: "These six themes represent the topics where many companies in the food and beverage industry see technical challenges and where companies from the high-tech and manufacturing industry can really help. With practical cases in the conference program and an exhibition floor with various theme squares, you therefore have one place where you can gain practical knowledge within these themes and where you can meet companies that can quickly help you further."

The Food Tech Event focuses on the following six themes:

- Machine building, equipment construction and engineering for production and processing lines.

- Food safety and hygiene in production environments.

- Future Food Factory: digitizing and automating.

- Quality management and control.

- Energy management and conservation in the production environment.

- Lifelong Development.
