Welcome message from the Chair

By Prof. Anlong Xu

“Hong Kong is a city where food, science, culture, and innovation naturally converge… it serves as a vital platform for both attracting global expertise and supporting the global reach of new solutions, an ideal setting for a congress dedicated to the future of food science and technology.”

Welcome message from the President

By Prof. Samuel Godefroy

“The role of food science and technology has never been more central. Science remains the foundation upon which safe, nutritious, sustainable, and resilient food systems are built - and this Congress reflects that essential role.”
