Greeting

We are creating a World FoodTech innovation ecosystem for a positive future for humanity.

The World FoodTech Association is the world's first public-private-academic consortium established to create value through solving food issues and contribute to a positive future. We host the World FoodTech Forum, Expo, and Conference to lead the global food tech industry, and last year we prepared the 'FoodTech Industry Promotion Act'.

Based on the 'FoodTech Industry Promotion Act', the Association aims to promote food tech as a dedicated institution, including reporting and supporting food tech businesses, conducting surveys, establishing international standards, building certification support systems, and promoting international cooperation and export support.
The Association will do its utmost to develop the food tech industry and enhance global competitiveness together with its member companies.

We ask for your continued interest and participation in the future.
