It is increasingly recognized that insects offer a huge potential as food and feed. Exciting new possibilities present themselves for an entrepreneurial sector that could contribute to a more sustainable planet. This is the reason that in the last few years the topic has received an enormous press coverage worldwide. Attending the conference provides you with an unique opportunity to become acquainted with the present state of the art in research, entrepreneurship and policy discussion, and will enable you to discuss the challenges and opportunities of moving this sector forward.
Up to now more than 330 people from over 40 countries have registered. The participants are coming from all relevant disciplines and organizations, representing research institutes, universities, national governments, public entities, international organizations, projects, private enterprises, and food and feed industries.
