In the first half of the 2020’s, the alternative protein sector went through a peak and trough. The decade started with large IPOs and fundraises and more offerings in grocery and restaurants, but ended with many companies scaling down or shutting down, struggling retail performance, and tough regulations. In this conversation, we’ll hear from experts on how they think the alternative protein sector will develop over the next half of the 2020’s. Will we see a resurgence, continuing struggles, or something in between?
Join our meetup for entrepreneurs, professionals, investors and food enthusiasts to network and hear from food industry speakers.
Whether you’re just starting your food business, looking to connect with startups to invest in or want to network with other like-minded professionals – this event is for you.
