The event
FoodTech is the alliance of the agri-food sector with new technologies.

It brings together all digital or technological initiatives - data and data processing, sensors, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, robotization, virtual reality, connected devices, mobile phones, etc. - that offer innovative solutions for optimizing the agri-food value chain.

It includes the whole value chain, from production (precision agriculture, urban agriculture, biocontrol, animal and plant genetics, new proteins ...), to consumers (personalized nutrition, catering, smart kitchen...), via processing (packaging, food safety, etc.), and distribution (delivery, marketplace, retail...).
