Senior leaders from the likes of Nestle, Dole, Amway and Suntory are preparing to take the stage in Singapore for our Growth Asia Summit 2023, where they will be sharing exclusive insights on day three on healthy ageing and personised nutrition and future food innovation.
Under the theme of Trends and Innovation Opportunities Across the Life Stages, the summit will explore the very latest market opportunities across the region that is driving the growth of the global food, beverage and nutrition industries – Asia!
On day three we will be showcasing how Asia faces huge challenges due to its rapidly ageing population, but this also provides vast opportunities for food, beverage and nutrition firms to cater to this burgeoning demographic.
We will drill down into the latest research, trends and products for conditions associated with mobility, including bone, joint and muscle health, as well as cognitive health spanning memory, mood, and cognition.
We’ll also shine the spotlight on the role the sector has to play in helping alleviate the various metabolic health conditions, including diabetes, obesity and heart health, as well as immune health and conditions such as dysphagia.
Finally, we’ll look to the future, and assess the prospects for personalised nutrition and precision foods across the region.
On day one, we will be assessing Infant and Maternal Nutrition, and Women’s Health.
And on day two, we will be focusing on Active Nutrition, Protein Innovation, and Men’s Health.
Throughout the three-day summit, FoodNavigator-Asia.com and NutraIngredients-Asia.com will help you understand how the industry can best navigate the region’s highly diverse consumer, regulatory, cultural and economic landscape in order to reap the substantial food, beverage and nutrition rewards on offer across all life stages.
