A brand-new format will allow Vitafoods Asia Conference delegates to choose from two streams of content

THE SECOND edition of the Vitafoods Asia Conference will have a brand-new format and more content, according to organizers of Vitafoods Asia, the only event dedicated to the nutraceutical, functional food and beverages, and dietary supplement industries in the region.

A long list of leading and well-respected industry experts will be participating at the Conference, which takes place from 2-3 September at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. They will be coming from A*STAR, Agence Tesla, ASEAN Food & Beverage Alliance, BrandHive, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Chung Shan Medical University, Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, EAS Strategies, Euromonitor International, Food Industry Asia, Frost & Sullivan, HealthBrandBuilders, The HealthyMarketingTeam Ltd, Herbalife Taiwan Inc., Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Innova Market Insights, International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, Kaohsiung Medical University, National Yang-Ming University, and NSF International.

Chris Lee, Portfolio Director, Vitafoods Events, shared, “Building upon the success of our European event in May, the Vitafoods Asia Conference will bear a similar program structure. We continue to highlight best practice, with market research and development in areas such as weight management and healthy ageing. The Conference also focuses more on regulatory aspects this year, in response to industry demand. Through this platform, we aim to facilitate dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and innovation within the industry, so as to facilitate the development of better and safer end-products for the consumer.”

Science meets business

The Conference sessions cover the commercial and science aspects of business in order for delegates to visualize the production cycle from idea to retail shelves. The content will be divided into two distinct, parallel streams: Business focuses on how to turn consumer and business intelligence into insights and competitive growth strategies. The second stream, Science, presents the latest R&D, product and ingredient innovations across a number of health categories. Delegates can choose to attend a mix of sessions from either streams, allowing them to customize their learning for a more personal and relevant conference experience.

Commenting on his involvement in the Vitafoods Asia Conference, Prof Tan Sze Wee, Deputy Executive Director of the Biomedical Research Council, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and Adjunct Associate Professor at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, Singapore, expressed, “The growing aging population, coupled with the rising incidence of non-communicable diseases, has led to heightened concern for health and wellness amongst consumers and a demand for healthier and more nutritious foods in urban cities in Asia such as Singapore. Functional food and nutraceuticals are a fast-growing area of interest actively researched by the food industry today. I look forward to a fruitful session at Vitafoods Asia 2015, exchanging knowledge and expertise with other industry leaders at the Conference.”
