Welcome to the Club!

Club Membership: More Community. More Opportunities. More Industry.

Our newly introduced club membership offers a unique opportunity to actively shape the future of the food industry.

Through the close collaboration of trade, industry, politics, science, and producers, we can collectively develop sustainable, innovative, and future-proof solutions, setting trends rather than following them. All operational decision-makers in the industry are invited to join this movement and benefit from

the numerous exclusive benefits of our future platform. With the club membership, we create a strong and constructive network with diverse opportunities for peer-to-peer exchanges on various topics. Together, we lay the foundation for change, new solutions, and future developments in the industry. This fosters the necessary collaboration across the entire value chain to collectively address future topics and challenges.

Durch die enge Zusammenarbeit von Handel, Industrie, Politik, Wissenschaft und Erzeugern können wir gemeinsam nachhaltige, innovative sowie zukunftssichere Lösungen entwickeln und die Trends setzen statt ihnen zu folgen. Alle operativen Branchenentscheider sind eingeladen, sich dieser Bewegung anzuschließen und von den zahlreichen exklusiven Vorteilen unserer Zukunftsplattform zu profitieren. Mit der Clubmitgliedschaft schaffen wir ein starkes und konstruktives Netzwerk mit vielfältigen Möglichkeiten, auf Augenhöhe zu unterschiedlichen Themen in den Austausch zu kommen. Gemeinsam legen wir eine Basis für Veränderungen, neue Lösungsansätze und zukünftige Entwicklungen in der Branche. So schaffen wir den notwendigen Schulterschluss über die komplette Wertschöpfungskette hinweg, um geschlossen zukünftige Themen und Herausforderungen bewältigen zu können.
