Sustainable Innovations in the European Bakery Innovation Centre - seminar 2010

By suppliers – For suppliers

Thursday June 3, 13.00  -- 18.00 h
EBIC (European Bakery Innovation Centre), Papendrecht, The Netherlands

The strength of successful companies is significantly associated with their power to develop innovative products, services and their combinations. More and more innovations have to be a balanced blend of ingenuity, networking/partnering and can-do mentality. The combination of knowledge and expertise are a fertile ground for innovation. It is important to do this in a sustainable manner in a time of economic uncertainty.

During the seminar the following companies give their views and experiences on sustainable innovation in times of economic uncertainty:

• Novozymes 
• Syral (leading European producer of starch, starch sweeteners, alcohol and proteins)
• Mondi Packaging Maastricht NV
• Frey & Lau  
• Sonneveld Group BV

In this seminar you learn about the latest sustainable innovations and develop new ideas for yourself. We will also encourage and stimulate you to look into the future. The complete programme offers an atmosphere of unexpected encounters, interaction, new opportunities, action and results. EBIC provides the right conditions and some leading suppliers are very motivated to give their experiences and vision. You will go home with new knowledge, inspiration and new contacts. Learn from entrepreneurs from the entire chain (industrial bakeries, retailers, raw material and packaging suppliers). Enrich your knowledge to become a source of inspiration.
