The event takes place as the number of older persons in the region is expected to more than double from 600 million today to nearly 1.3 billion by 2050.
Organised by the publishers of FoodNavigator-Asia.com and NutraIngredients-Asia.com, the event brings together brands, suppliers, regulators and market experts to assess how the industry can meet the food and nutrition needs of older consumers of today and tomorrow.
Editor-in-Chief of both titles, and Regional Head of APAC at publisher William Reed, Gary Scattergood, said: “Crucially, the event comes from the perspective that healthy ageing begins from conception. It assesses innovative food and nutrition solutions across all age spans, which will ultimately help people enjoy a healthy, as well as longer, older age.
"We are thrilled to be releasing the advanced programme, which features a fantastic line-up of expert speakers from across the globe, all of whom will be shining the spotlight on the biggest challenges and opportunities around healthy ageing."
