Under the topic "The Foodtech Revolution", the second edition of Food 4 Future aims to position Spain FoodTech Nation brand at an international level giving the opportunity to professionals from all the food industry value chain to find their technological partner to drive innovation throughout their operating model.

ICEX, in its commitment to internationalization, will actively participate by developing different actions:

In the Congress aspect, by inviting international speakers from Israel, Norway, Ireland and the Netherlands, and taking advantage of being a guest country, top-level representatives of investment funds, academics from Wageningen University and the main international corporations based in the country will be participating.

In the exhibition part, with the new stand SPAINFOODTECH, the DESAFIA NL program will be highlighted with the participation of the 14 companies of the first two editions, who will participate in matchmaking activities with investors and corporations visiting the fair, as well as participate in a showdown "Get in the ring", in which they will compete against startups presenting their innovative projects.
