DEEPTECH & AI SUMMIT
Revolution in the food industry!
SIAL Paris 2024 was at the heart of innovation and the digital transformation of the agri-food industry, highlighting advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and DeepTech in the sector.
The abundance of data and the tools for analysing it are guiding the industry's strategic decisions. How are these advances revolutionising production processes, operational efficiency and product quality?
Every day, experts in AI, DeepTech, agriculture and distribution are amplifying their synergies to create innovative and sustainable solutions. In line with the #OwnTheChange movement, the aim is to contribute to more environmentally-friendly food production by minimising waste while optimising resources.
In addition, these technologies improve the consumer experience by offering healthier food products tailored to their needs, thereby improving their health. By transforming and optimising production processes, product quality and reducing waste, AI and DeepTech are enabling new trends to emerge.
Each Summit was followed by a convivial and refreshing networking moment between speakers and participants.
Embracing change through Deeptech & AI
- Is AI really a game changer for life science and for food industry?
After making an impact in industries like health or logistics, AI is going for a broader range of applications. But can it truly have an impact on food? From products to customer experience and manufacturing or formulation processes, this panel will explore examples of opportunities but also the limits that AI is facing to truly push the industry forward.
- From lab to market: Recipes for innovation
While a lot of innovation and sustainability perspectives are currently driven by precision fermentation, it has yet failed to scale opportunities such as alternative protein to a level where price parity, texture or taste are sufficient to massively convert customers. In this panel, we will discuss what still prevent us from getting those innovations massively available and adopted, but also the massive change of paradigm it could represent.
- Going deeper for food sustainability
Food & agriculture represents up to 30% of global CO2 emissions, thus making the choices that both industrials and consumer will make in the upcoming year highly impactful. From waste reduction and valorisation to packaging or traceability, there are many paths that are currently being explored but also regulated. This panel will discuss the trends, from investment to regulation and innovative initiatives, that are paving the way for the decarbonation of the industry
