During the Normec Foodcare Customer Event 2026, professionals from the food sector gathered to discuss current topics that directly impact organizations today. Topics such as food safety, changing laws and regulations, supply chain challenges, and the role of AI and data took center stage during a day filled with knowledge sharing and practical sessions.
The combination of informative presentations, interactive breakout sessions, and valuable networking opportunities made the event an inspiring experience for professionals in QA, food safety, and product development.
From Vision for the Future to Concrete Application
The food industry operates in a rapidly changing landscape. Rising consumer expectations, geopolitical developments, supply shortages, and increasingly complex regulations demand greater flexibility and insight within organizations and supply chains.
The keynote session focused on the impact of these developments on the sector. The growing role of AI and data was also emphasized. Examples include applications for predicting quality, more efficient process control, and greater control over risks within the supply chain.
In the breakout sessions, these themes were applied to concrete real-world scenarios. Topics such as labeling, microbiological risks—including Bacillus cereus— and comprehensive product assessments took center stage. The sessions provided participants with insights they could immediately apply in their daily work.
Key Insights from the Sessions
Clear common threads emerged across the various sessions:
- Data and technology are playing an increasingly important role in ensuring quality, efficiency, and predictability within the food supply chain.
- Knowledge of laws and regulations remains essential for maintaining compliance in an increasingly complex market.
- Collaboration within the supply chain is more important than ever. By sharing knowledge and insights, organizations can respond more quickly to changes and work together to build a future-proof food industry.
Connecting and Sharing Knowledge Within the Food Sector
In addition to the substantive sessions, the event offered ample opportunity for networking and knowledge exchange. Conversations among industry professionals led to new insights, valuable discussions, and the strengthening of existing partnerships.
For Normec Foodcare, the customer event is an important opportunity to share expertise and look ahead to the future of food together with customers and partners.
