Uzwil (Switzerland), June 27, 2022 – Swiss technology group
Bühler is bringing together over 1,000 decision makers from the food, feed, and
mobility sectors at its Networking Days in Uzwil on June 27-28 to “accelerate
impact together.” This unique, convening event was created by Bühler in 2016
and is held every three years. At the center of the many keynotes, panels, and
technology demonstrations is the question: How can we enable 10 billion people
(by 2050) to live a good life within the boundaries of our planet? The event
focuses on leadership, technology, education, inspiration, and action across
international industry boundaries. It highlights examples of companies that
provide tangible impact on mitigating climate change, eradicating poverty,
creating employment, protecting and restoring nature, and improving food
security.
“Global industry has excellent examples of companies that
are highly responsible, applying innovative technologies at the heart of their
transformation, and through this, becoming economically healthier and
addressing sustainability at the same time,” says Bühler CEO Stefan Scheiber.
“In fact, despite all the challenges we are facing – from climate change to
food and energy insecurity to supply chain issues and social disruptions
through to wars – I am convinced we can turn things around. Innovative
technologies offer many business opportunities when they also address
sustainability issues. We must not shy away from seizing these opportunities.”
During the event, customers and partners along with Bühler
will demonstrate that the rate of innovation is accelerating. Highlighted are
solutions from global companies, extraordinary entrepreneurs, start-ups,
academia, and NGOs – all illustrating that solutions to global challenges can
be found and delivered at an impactful scale. Vital to all of this is education
and training and the role they play in building the skills for the impactful
jobs of the future. Through all of this, the Networking Days create an
exceptional collaboration platform for sharing, learning, networking,
partnering, and most importantly, for creating positive impact. A stark
reminder of the need for collaboration is unfolding in front of our eyes. Food
scarcity is increasing as a result of conflict, and we can see the terrible
consequences on the poorest populations where food security was already an
issue.
Tangible examples of companies that balance nature, humanity, and economy in their decisions are shared at the Networking Days. Among them: a coffee company from Norway, which reduces CO2e emissions by 85% in its new facility; an entrepreneur in Angola, who has built a gigantic industrial food complex as a huge first step towards providing self-sufficient food security across the country; a battery manufacturer in the UK who is building Europe’s first Gigaplant with new mixing processes, reducing waste in the production process by 80%; and a miller in India who is making tortillas in a plant that reduces water consumption by 84% and eliminates wastewater. Many other companies in attendance are transforming the food system with sustainably delivered plant-based proteins. These are just a few examples of the many businesses using proven technologies.
