the world's first conference focused specifically
on nanotechnologies and the food industry, will
be held on June 20th-21st at Wageningen International
Convention Centre, Wageningen, The Netherlands.
Nano4Food will provide the first opportunity for
food manufacturers and nanotechnology providers
to discuss the current and future needs and opportunities
for nanotechnologies within the food industry.
This
is accomplished by a multidisciplinary approach
of business and technology represented by a world
class programme which includes high-level speakers
from global food industry manufacturers, government
regulatory bodies, top technology companies and
research institutes.
Delegates

to reach the market;
--
Rutgers University's and the world's first Food
Nanotechonology Professor, Dr. Quirong Huang, who
will offer insight into the significant impact that
nanosensors will have in food safety and quality,
and many more internationally renowned speakers.
Food
manufacturers will discover the ways in which nanotechnologies
can improve productivity within established processes,
as well as identifying positive impacts on health
and taste while companies and organizations working,
researching and producing within the nanotechnology
space will be able to find out first hand how the
