In her lecture, the food trend expert from Austria will take the audience into the future and open up a strategic vision of alternative foods such as in-vitro meat and fish, insects and algae. In doing so, she provides answers to future nutrition-related questions and presents upcoming challenges.
At 16:45, the programme continues with US hospitality expert Anna Dolce and her talk “How to turn your guests into regular customers”. In her talk, Dolce, who has been in the hospitality industry for 20 years, explains why focusing solely on attracting new customers means businesses are slowly dying.
