Now in its fifteenth year, the annual event draws to a close on the 30 March with a line-up that places forward thinking, predictions and the future at the heart of day 3’s deliberations and discussions.
The day kicks off with a regulation-focused panel that welcomes Tanne Severin Holm, Special Veterinary Advisor, Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and Brian Kelly, Partner in the European Life Sciences group, Covington & Burling, to the proceedings.
They’ll be joined by David Pineda Ereno, Managing Director and Consultant on Strategy, Policy and Regulation, DPE International Consulting, to discuss the very latest in microbiome-related regulation in Europe and beyond.
With efforts made by The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) to clarify the term ‘postbiotics,’ the industry looks set to nail down definitive definitions that also include ones for probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics and fermented foods.
The discussion also looks at the kinds of market opportunities available with the discussion extending to the countries set to make a big impact on the industry in the future.

A seasoned journalist and editor Kacey will be joined by Marie Drago, Founder of Gallinée and Margherita Patrucco, Innovation and Product development at Probiotical, to discuss the science characterising the skin microbiome space.
