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.
