Japan-Denmark Food Tech Exchange

Innovations in Reducing Food Waste

The EAC Foundation • Asia House, in partnership with the Embassy of Japan in Denmark, is pleased to invite you to the Japan–Denmark Food Tech Exchange – bringing together Danish and Japanese companies, researchers, authorities and organisations to explore how food technology can contribute to a more sustainable food system.

The programme moves from Denmark’s food ecosystem to concrete technologies and their real-world application. Through presentations and discussion, we will explore innovations in sustainable aquaculture, advanced materials and packaging, edible and biodegradable solutions, fermentation and sustainable food ingredients.

Bringing together perspectives from both Japan and Denmark, the exchange will address a central question: How can innovative food technologies move from ideas and research into practical, scalable solutions that create real impact?” til “Bringing together perspectives from both Japan and Denmark, the exchange will address a central question: How can we turn new solutions into opportunities at scale and accelerate implementation, adoption and impact?

The afternoon concludes with networking, providing an opportunity to build new connections and explore future collaboration between Japanese and Danish stakeholders.
