Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley Launch Event

House of Switzerland • World Economic Forum 2020

Thursday 23 January 2020
15:00 - 17:00
Location: Nordside

Organized by Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley

The Swiss Food and Nutrition Valley is a collaboration initiated by Nestlé, EPFL, Canton Vaud and the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne.

Switzerland is a world reference in sustainable food and nutrition innovation. A unique ecosystem has emerged from Geneva to Zurich, due to Switzerland’s deeply rooted agricultural tradition, an unmatched density of world leading companies and scientific institutions as well as a large number of start-ups in areas such as food, nutrition, life sciences or robotics. As a result of the intensive collaboration among local players, leading innovation platforms have emerged in the Lake Geneva region, including in the areas of sustainable agriculture, nutrition, nutrigenomics, alternative proteins, and packaging science. Meet them in Davos!

Expected speakers:
Paul Bulcke, Chairman, Nestlé S.A
Franck Giovannini, Chef, Hôtel de Ville de Crissier
Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin
Martin Vetterli, President, EPFL
