Reimagine, redesign, regenerate: How R&D is transforming business models amongst shifting regulatory, climate and consumer landscapes

Plenary
Back to agenda

Sustainability isn’t just an environmental imperative – it’s a commercial one. As regulation tightens, supply chains evolve, and consumer expectations rise, R&D holds the keys to sustainable transformation that drives competitiveness, resilience, and long-term growth.

This session will explore how brands are integrating climate commitments within R&D. We’ll highlight how leading brands have established product development and innovation frameworks centred around regenerative food systems. And we’ll also assess sustainable innovation as a catalyst for profitability, diversification, and to future-proof rapidly shifting food supply chains.

What to expect from this type of session...

Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
