Welcome to the Alternative Fats & Oils Summit

The Alternative Fats & Oils Summit offered a premium platform where technical case studies dived into how emulsion, microbial, cultivated, and other novel techniques can be harnessed to engineer animal-free fats and oils that not only mimic but outperform their unsustainable counterparts in taste, texture, cost, melting point, and nutritional value.

With over 60 key decision-makers including chief executive officers and chief technology officers in attendance, this forum brought together a gathering of influential minds in the industry to generate insights into the latest technological advancements made in the alternative fats and oils space.

Our audience joined us to tune into C16 Biosciences, Mission Barns, Savor, and Optimized Foods to grasp how their technologies can transform the field today and provide an end-to-end solution for various end products including meat analogues, dairy substitutes, and seafood alternatives.
