Fi Europe Conference - Day 3 Spotlight
Navigate the future of nutrition in the GLP-1 era
Weight management is reshaping the food and beverage industry—shifting focus from calorie restriction to nutrient density, metabolic health, and functional eating.
As GLP-1 medications and nutrient-stimulated hormone therapies (NuSHs) redefine consumer appetites and expectations, the industry faces a fundamental question: how do we make food work harder nutritionally when consumers are eating less, craving differently, and demanding measurable health outcomes from every bite?
At Fi Europe 2026, this transformative category takes centre stage. Bringing together science, innovation, and industry expertise, this is your hub for exploring the future of food in a lower-intake, higher-functionality world.
Tap into a transformative market shift
Discover how GLP-1 trends are creating new opportunities for nutrient-dense formulations, satiety-led design, and therapeutic food formats that meet evolving consumer needs.
Connect science with strategic innovation
Meet leading experts, ingredient suppliers, and brands to explore evidence-based reformulation strategies, functional ingredients, and emerging research on appetite modulation and metabolic health..
Stay ahead of changing consumer behaviours
Learn what today's consumers expect—from high-protein, high-fibre solutions to convenient meal replacements and "everyday therapeutic" formats designed for smaller portions and greater nutritional impact.
Build valuable partnerships across the value chain
Network with stakeholders from R&D, nutrition science, regulatory, retail, and brand strategy to navigate the commercial and scientific challenges of this new era in food innovation.
