      Why attend?

      Returning for its 9th year, we are bringing the Dairy Innovation Strategies Conference to Copenhagen!

      The dairy industry is an increasingly competitive industry, both within the dairy category and its plant-based counterparts. Strategies that were in place for global expansion have been affected significantly and companies are looking at new opportunities to scale and increase market share.

      Brands are having to rethink and reposition their company vision and goals to meet the current economic landscape and sustainability agenda to continue to remain relevant in an ever-more demanding consumer eco-system.

      WHAT TO EXPECT FOR 2023?

      Equip yourself for the next 12 months by hearing about new trends in textures, flavours, product types, growth areas and understanding what it is that consumers really want.
