Future of Food Series: The Future of Food Products
Flavor Clouds, Gelato with zero added sugar, and prickly pear water are just a few examples of the new food products, trends, and businesses that are emerging daily. Though we're seeing innovative consumer packaged goods startups launching around the world, Boston is home to some of the most progressive food product innovations out there.
In our 2nd Future of Food Series panel, we will speak with Boston's leading startup founders, investors, and manufacturers to discuss the latest trends in food product innovation, development and marketing.PRESENTERS
