There is just one month to go to our Growth Asia Summit this July 15th to 17th, at the iconic Marina Bay Sands hotel and convention centre.
Delegate sales are now open. There are discounts available for start-ups, academics and group bookings.
Infant and maternal health, active lifestyle nutrition, healthy ageing, protein opportunities and healthier production innovation are some of the key topics to be discussed at the summit.
As with past years, the fifth edition of the summit gathers seniors execs from MNCs, leading regional firms, and promising start-ups, where they would present business learnings and R&D opportunities across Asia-Pacific’s health and nutrition sector.
CP Foods’ Nalinee Robinson, for example, will be shining the spotlight on protein innovation opportunities and how CP Foods, on of the largest protein companies in the region, is making a shift to a health and wellness focus in this regard.
“In recent years, CP Foods has revamped our core focus to expand beyond just meat products towards Health and Wellness, in recognition of industry trends and consumer demands across the region,” she told us.
Her presentation will will highlight CP Foods’ insights on the food and beverage trends in Asia which have shaped this shift, as well as food industry research and technology opportunities.
Jessica Simonis from Life-Space will discuss the role of the microbiome in nutritional health, specifically for optimising energy and boosting metabolism.
