Joining Satya at Food Frontier's AltProteins 24 will be more than 40 speakers from around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Brazil, Sweden, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, The Netherlands, the USA, and Germany, including key industry leaders such as:

Network with emerging innovative companies in agtech, precision fermentation and cultivated meat and hear how they are redefining the food system.

With a focus on building sustainable food systems the conference will also feature a debate on catalysing food as a central climate change issue, showcasing some of the most impactful initiatives that are driving industry growth. 

Also, on October 10 Food Frontier will host an exclusive novel food tasting event adjacent to AltProteins 24. This groundbreaking tasting event will showcase two revolutionary food types not yet approved in Australia: dairy made from precision fermentation and cultivated meat. The menu will also feature innovative plant-based products like steak, eggs, and whipped cream from overseas market leaders—all of which are not yet for sale in Australia. Attendance is strictly by invitation only; however, four lucky attendees of AltProteins 24 have the chance to win a coveted golden ticket, granting them access to this one-of-a-kind experience.

The lead sponsor of AltProteins 24, The Victorian Government—through support from Agriculture Victoria, Global Victoria and Invest Victoria—will open the day with a dignitary address as well as participate in a plant protein development session and global market reach, export opportunity workshop. 

Food Frontier's AltProteins 24 is on Thursday October 10 at Sofitel on Collins in Melbourne.
