High-Value Nutrition Ko Ngā Kai Whai Painga is pleased to announce details of our 2021 Foodomics Conference, which is being held on 28-29 September 2021 at the Cordis, Auckland.
Programme details for the two days are below. Register for Foodomics 2021 here.
The Foodomics 2019 conference was extremely popular and we have integrated feedback from that successful event into our planning for this year’s Foodomics Conference.
Foodomics 2021 will bring together experts, researchers, and businesses across New Zealand’s Food & Beverage (F&B) industry. The conference will showcase multiple F&B research projects underway and highlight future opportunities for industry to benefit from cutting-edge research. Industry experts and researchers will be in attendance to present how HVN-funded projects can pave the way to higher value and a competitive edge in international markets.
There is also a poster competition, which will give students an opportunity to showcase the incredible research that is taking place across the HVN Challenge. Visit the Foodomics 2021 Poster Competition page for more details.
