Considering public health concerns and government advisories, we will postpone our planned event (Is the Next Unicorn Edible?), scheduled originally for 13 February 2020, to a later date. Refunds will be provided to those who have purchased tickets, and we will keep everyone updated once the new date of the event has been confirmed. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Whether we eat to live or live to eat, food is a critical necessity for 7.7 billion of us today – and 10 billion of us tomorrow.
But with the critical challenges facing our food ecosystem, this multi-trillion-dollar (and counting) industry is on the cusp of crisis and disruption. Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods have already put plant-based protein on the front pages and food innovation at the forefront of many investors’ radars. Where is the next food unicorn?
Join us for the only food-tech event taking place as part of StartmeupHK Festival 2020 and discover all you need to know about the global food-tech opportunity, from problems to profits. Meet key players leading the global food revolution, from forward-thinking investors to the most promising innovators shaking up the food ecosystem.
