Successful collaboration happens when cross-functional partners have shared values and the desire for all partners to thrive! I'm looking forward to this collaborative panel discussion at IFT FIRST, Tuesday July 16@10:45am "How can cross-functional teams move from competitive work to collaborative problem-solving to achieve successful results?" #IFTFIRST #sensoryandconsumerscience #collaboration #productinsights

Wow! It's less that 4 weeks to the start of IFT FIRST in Chicago. I can't wait to connect with long-time colleagues, meet some new ones, and learn about the latest innovation in the science of food. And, to hear what some of the thought leaders will share throughout the event on where they see transformation for the food system, leveraging food science, collaboration and innovation. What are you looking forward to when you're attending IFT FIRST? Hope to connect with you IRL there! #IFTFIRST #innovation #foodsystem #foodscience

Good experience to have been at #EIT_Food‘s Next Bite conference the last two days. Very rich and content-deep conversations and presentations on how to address the Future of Food. My key takeaways: 1) As Richard Zaltzman put it at the end, there is momentum with lots of inspiration and action. Corporates, start-ups, institutions and academics are working on a wide range of issues for today‘s food system and come up with innovative solutions. But there is a huge challenge in connecting the dots and scaling the solutions more broadly 2) Nature needs diversity, consumers need simplicity. It is important to move towards one regulatory framework to give clarity and transparency to all 3) Solutions need to solve real consumer problems. Many concepts and ideas are either rather abstract or not really picking up consumers where they are 4) Food is complicated and the challenge is multi-faceted. This often leads to one step forward and two steps back in discussions and in implementing solutions 5) Tech and data are the enablers, not the solution. It is about responsible and smart application on the right topics. Do rather fewer things, but those really well 6) Collaborating in the ecosystem is the key. But we are not there yet - by far. It needs high-impact joint projects to build the trust across participants   Thanks to #EIT_Food's Michiel De Ruiter and Richard Zaltzman for orchestrating this event and getting participants of the ecosystem together. Our global #PwC Rethinking Food community is committed to participate in the Food ecosystem and help making the transition happen - for the benefit of all.

Be part of the transformation! This year’s theme is Collaboration + Innovation: How Can Food Science and Technology Transform the Food System?  

🚀 REWE Südwest Börse Highlight: Energized and Optimistic 🌱 Last week marked my first Rewe Börse experience, and I’m excited to share some of the key takeaways that have us feeling more energized than ever: 😋 Taste is king Our TU-NAH received incredible feedback—some attendees even mistook it for real tuna! Taste is everything, and BettaFish is hitting the mark. 🌊 Seaweed for the win Our use of seaweed as the main flavor component (instead of artificial additives) really stood out. Attendees loved the clean, natural taste! 🎯 The power of taste-driven marketing Leading with taste truly opened doors. The winning pitch from Lilith Gawol? “Come try the most delicious sandwich at the fair!” 😄 It’s clear that when you lead with flavor, people are eager to listen! 🌍 Growing demand in all areas In discussions with REWE market owners and buyers, it was exciting to hear that the demand for plant-based products is growing not just in urban centers but also in rural areas. The market for sustainable foods is expanding everywhere (at least in Germany 😄) 🐟🌱 Another discussion point was that the plant-based seafood category is still too underdeveloped — and BettaFish is here to fill that gap! 😉 We’re just getting started, and I can’t wait to see how our products continue to resonate with retailers and consumers alike! #PlantBasedInnovation #ReweSüdwest #SeaweedMagic #BettaFish
