Anuga FoodTec is the leading international supplier fair for the food and beverage industry. It will be proving this once again from 20 to 23 March 2018: Around 1,700 suppliers from more than 50 countries will be presenting their new products for the production and packing of all types of food on 140,000 square metres of exhibition space. The comprehensive range of exhibits will once again this year also be accompanied by a multi-faceted event and congress programme. Target group-specific lectures, conferences, forums, guided tours, special events and networking events will thereby create additional impulses and added value for the exhibitors and visitors. The top theme of Anuga FoodTec 2018 is Resource Efficiency. As usual, the German Agricultural Association (DLG) is responsible for the professional organisation of the congress programme.
Optimise production processes, reduce the energy and water consumption, minimise the loss of foodstuffs as far as possible: The half-day opening conference of Anuga FoodTec, which is completely dedicated to the theme resource efficiency, demonstrates this and much more. The speakers are the internationally renowned experts Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart (Scientific Manager of the Hamburg Environmental Institute (HUI), Hamburg,), Prof. Dr. ir. Ruud Huirne (Food & Agri Director, the Netherlands, Rabobank), Prof. Pierre Pienaar (President of the World Packaging Organisation) and Prof. Dr. Alexander Sauer (Director, Institute for Energy Efficiency in Production EEP, University of Stuttgart). The opening conference is scheduled to take place at 2:00 p.m. on 20 March, in the Europasaal of the Congress Centre East.
