10 Years Fraunhofer Alliance Food Chain Management

With the Symposium “FOOD SYSTEMS – FIT FOR THE FUTURE?” the Fraunhofer Food Chain Management Alliance celebrated its 10th anniversary.  

We presented innovative approaches and solutions along the entire food value chain and gave the opportunity to engage in interesting discussions with our experts and guests from industry, authoritative organisations and academia. The goal of the symposium was to offer inspiration and stimuli around the key topics

  • Consumer Focus: reliably deliver safe quality foods customized to consumer needs
  • Resource Efficiency: fight losses and waste in the food chain
  • Transparency and Trust: enable informed, better decisions

to encourage the dialogue about global trends, opportunities and challenges and show existing solutions. There was also the possibility to network with potential partners for future collaborations.

The event took place on the 13th of November 2017 at the Fraunhofer-Headquarter.
