14-15 Oct | Meet NIZO at the NAPIC Conference 2026
NIZO experts Susann Bellmann and Ioana Iorga will attend the NAPIC Conference 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland, on 14 and 15 October 2026.
On the second day of the conference (at 10:15 AM), Susann Bellmann will present:
“From dairy to alternative proteins: why we don’t need to reinvent the cheese wheel”
In this presentation, she will explore how knowledge and insights gained from decades of dairy research can accelerate innovation in alternative protein products, helping the industry overcome technical challenges and bring successful products to market more efficiently.
The NAPIC Conference brings together industry leaders, innovators, researchers, investors, and policymakers to explore the latest developments in alternative protein innovation.
The event provides a platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and discussion of the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of alternative proteins. By connecting stakeholders from across the value chain, the conference aims to accelerate the development and commercialisation of sustainable, nutritious, and accessible protein solutions.
Alternative protein research is a rapidly evolving field that often involves uncertainty and unexpected outcomes. NAPIC recognizes that both positive and negative results contribute valuable insights and help advance the sector as a whole.
The conference program includes keynote presentations, industry case studies, networking opportunities, scientific poster sessions, and interactive workshops, creating an environment where researchers and industry professionals can learn from one another and build new partnerships.
Will you be attending the conference? We’d be delighted to connect and discuss the latest developments in alternative proteins, fermentation, and food innovation.
