It’s back! For the 9th year running, the who’s who of the dairy and dairy alternatives industry will gather to discuss to future of the industry. 

This year the event is based in the heart of Copenhagen and there has never been a more important time to look into innovation in this evolving sector. Spanning two days (19th – 20th April 2023), and two stages, brands like Danone, Oatly, Coca Cola, Arla Foods, and many more will be setting the world to rights on new innovation.

Ingredients, taste & flavour in the dairy and plant-based alternative industry

The most exciting part of the event will be when our very own Mike Bagshaw takes to the stage to share his insight and secrets of getting the most out of flavour in dairy and plant based alternatives. 

We’ve been working closely with customers on both sides of the diary and plant-based fence on how to really deliver with flavour. Recently we have invested in a state of the art UHT trials facility to help customers run trials of new flavour launches. This has also allowed us to develop a unique range of nautal flavours that cope well under the intense UHT treatment. 

Joining Mike on the panel will be Philippe Teissier Phd, R&I Ferments and Fermentation Director of dairy giants, Danone Nutricia Research.
