Plant FWD to Return to Amsterdam With a Bigger Program Than Ever Before

Plant FWD, a conference focused on accelerating the protein transition, is set to return to Amsterdam for its third edition on April 8-9. The event aims to bring together 1000 food professionals, startups, investors, policymakers, and decision-makers. This year's program promises to be larger than ever, featuring pitches from ten startups, previews of groundbreaking products, the Eat Lancet Dietary Guidelines 2.0, and the initial results of the Protein Tracker monitoring supermarkets' plant protein sales.

Speakers at the conference will include experts like circular economist Harald Friedl, photographer Jimmy Nelson, chefs Nicolas Acquaa and Glory Kabe, and former Minister Klaas Dijkhoff. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to sample food innovations at The Market and witness the launch of new products at the Food Scoop Kitchen. Plant FWD also seeks to connect emerging brands with investors and has partnered with Impact Hub to expand internationally, with over 60 applications received from around the world.

In light of the state of the protein transition and the challenges in climate and health, the importance of events like Plant FWD is emphasized. Co-founder Marcel van der Heijden highlights the necessity for entrepreneurs and companies to drive the transition forward.
