The 2nd edition of the IFA SMART & GREEN Virtual Conference will be held on February 6-8, 2023. The Opening Session will discuss investments in innovation and startups and the market for special products.

The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit brings together founders, corporates, investors and experts from the agri-food community to think about the challenges in agriculture and food in new and innovative ways. Now in its eleventh year, the summit gathers a global audience of 2000 in San Francisco and online for a unique, two-day event aimed at moving transformational agricultural technologies out of the lab and into the field. Focused on innovation at the nexus of climate-water-energy and food, expert panels will analyze the potential of next generation crop protection and crop nutrition, robotics, precision ag and the convergence of satellites, sensors, and agri-finance in the transition to climate-smart farming.

As the world adjusts to the impacts of climate change, conflict, and a changing economic landscape, securing access to sustainable and nutritious food is more important than ever. The summit has become a global hub, connecting 1600 international food brands, ingredient providers, investors, start-ups and technology leaders, whilst digging into the crucial issues facing the food industry today. Over the two-day summit, food-tech pioneers and visionaries will discuss innovative approaches to scaling alt-proteins, new formulations for healthier, nutrient packed foods, and commercial opportunities at the intersection of food and medicine.

The 2023 Hack Summit is a 2-day in-person event bringing together the world’s best and brightest food and climate tech founders, leaders and innovators in Lausanne, Switzerland.

F&A Next spurs thought leadership, unites ambitions and serves as a springboard for partnerships that enable a sustainable food system and a better deal for all. By connecting promising startups, scale-ups, dedicated food & agtech investors, innovative corporates and thought leaders, F&A Next mobilizes capital and creates opportunities for a durable transformation of global food systems.

Returning for its third year, Future Food-Tech’s dedicated Alternative Proteins Summit in New York reunites the protein industry in person to explore new approaches to scaling novel technologies.
Taking place on June 27-28, the summit will not only bring important conversations to the fore in the form of debates, panels and presentations, but also give delegates the opportunity to taste the future of food. From our iconic Taste Lab, allowing audience members to network with like-minded business leaders whilst trying new products, to our onstage cook-off session Step-Up to the Plate, the event’s marriage of interactive sessions, content-led programming and targeted networking is unmatched.
