The FoodTekPack conference at the IndusFood Exhibition, in Gandhinagar on 25 July, has a strong knowledge and technical program for the full day. The eight comfortable sessions will take place in a partitioned and separate space with industry sponsorship and paying delegates. Echaar and Pelican are sponsors.
The presentations, speakers, panelists, and registered participants will discuss technical innovations in food processing and packaging. Reducing food loss and waste in the country by increasing processing, sustainable packaging, and improved distribution to domestic and export consumers is the greatest opportunity.
The keynote speakers are Arshad Khambatta of Rasna and Dr Prem Garg of the Indian Rice Exporter Association. Many national food and beverage brand owners are panellists, such as Adani Food Products, Ganesh Gruh Udyog, Tata Consumer Products, and several others.
More than 20 innovation experts and pioneers from Buhler India, Raas Intellisolutions, On2Cook, and LabelBlind will speak about innovations and efficiencies in food processing, preparation, filling and sealing, packaging, labelling, authentication, compliance, condition-monitoring, and customer engagement.
The use of data, standards, AI, codes, sensors, and the cloud makes this a conference for brands and converters to discuss and implement the latest technologies for sourcing, production, processing, and secure exports.
The excellent packaging innovation sessions for food exports will discuss new sustainable structures and technologies, creating the path for safe food and cost efficiency using standardization in gravure and flexography for flexible packaging.
Dr Azam Pasha of Maalexi, a global Real World Asset platform for food trade and risk management, will address an extremely insightful session on de-risking food exports. This promises to be an insightful window to streamlining and scaling up agriculture and food exports from India.
The latest FSSAI food safety and Extended User Responsibility compliances of the Indian government and the EU waste management regulations coming into force in August 2026 will be presented, including an automation technology for compliance. Technology for brand protection, authentication, the safety of food and beverage products, and customer engagement innovations will be discussed. We plan to present the use of condition-monitoring sensors for derisking and tracking the export of sensitive cold chain food products.
The final session of the day is about attracting capital and investment for modernization, innovation, and new projects in food processing, packaging, and export-related technologies. It will include a panel of innovators, private equity investors, and bankers.
All sessions at our conference are knowledge, technology, and business – no sales talks. Plenty of time and room for questions and interaction with the speakers and panellists.
Registration for Rs. 2,000 plus GST for the full day, including lunch and tea. These are already coming in with many more to follow in the few days left. Check out the FoodTekPack website www.foodtekpack.com for the detailed program and list of speakers and panelists, and please register as soon as possible. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the conference team or me as given on the website.
We are expecting around 100 to 120 participants, including brand owners, food processors, experts, importers, exporters, and packaging converters. This is not a conference of sales talks but of eight well-planned conversations with take-home value, as much from the knowledge and experience of our delegates as from our speakers and panelists. Looking forward to seeing many of our industry leaders and innovators there!
Note: This industry leadership event is being jointly organized with the Trade Promotion Council of India alongside the IndusFood exhibition.
