Food conference

The ftalks23 keynotes and round tables have revolved around four thematic blocks: Resilient and Regenerative Food System, Future Market Trends, New Proteins and Innovation in Retail and Gastronomy. The future became palpable with topics such as molecular agriculture, regenerative food, AI applied to farming, precision fermentation or cultured meat.

Future Market

A unique space to show the products that will occupy the shelves of tomorrow, through more than 30 initiatives with impact projects for the future of the food industry. Smart labels for monitoring food; plant-based pastrami, ham or sashimi or technology to understand consumer reactions to food were some of the proposals.

Future Dinner

A gastronomic experience created under the concept of the “Future of the food system value chain” with a menu of 30 dishes made with innovative, healthy, and sustainable foods from participating startups. This dinner has been certified by Chefs' Manifesto, an initiative supported by the UN in line with the SDGs and formed by more than 1,000 chefs from around the world.

Smart Networking

Our smart networking algorithm has suggested "matches" to people who had affinities so that they could establish new synergies during the ftalks Food Summit. Through the event app it has been possible to establish contact and organize valuable meetings to promote collaborations and new projects.

Startup Awards 2023

The ftalks Food Summit awards, with 15 finalist startups, recognized Spread Sensations, creator of a carob cream, as the most sustainable startup, while the company Levprot Bioscience took the award for the most innovative startup. Both companies, for the first time in the history of the event, have received a cash award of 5,000 euros thanks to the support of Solulim and Vicky Foods.
