Most of all (besides tasting all the Good Food) Big Meet is about discussing the future of said food and how we can achieve a more sustainable food system. The Strategy Stage focused on new tech, system-thinking and business models including topics such as Responsive Nutrition, Food in the Metaverse, Chefs and Farmers are the new holy duo and What does air taste like? We even hosted a world launch of a new Nanoponics system!

Not only did we have a great stage program this year at the Big Meet, we also launched our idea for a test kitchen!

Sprung from our long collaboration with chefs all over the world we wanted to see if it would make a difference to put them together with a bunch of traditional, amazing and new products and see what would come out of it. And we think we can all agree that it was a success! We want to extend a BIG thank you to all the chefs that put up with this crazy idea, all the creators of products that came and tested with us, and all of our partners that supplied us with amazing produce, and to all of you visitors that tasted! Next year the sky is the limit, or is it?

Thanks again to
