This groundbreaking event focuses on the segment of the business sector that follows,
reflects and moves the plant-based trend in Hungary.
manufacturers, restaurants and food chains are increasingly discovering the enormous potential of plant-based cuisine and incorporating it into their business plans.
Newer trends challenging the traditional meat-based diet – such as flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan – as well as innovative products, meat substitutes and plant-based proteins are showing dynamic expansion in Hungary as well as in international markets.
At the Plant-Powered Perspectives Conference, we bring answers and inspiration from innovative and knowledgeable experts in the field so that you too can expand your offer with the most innovative products.
