Food&HotelAsia (FHA) launched an industry white paper, titled Smart Innovations Transforming the Food and Hospitality Landscape by 2020 in collaboration with Euromonitor International to celebrate the event’s 40th anniversary. The 20-page report provided a unique insight into major disruptors impacting the industry.
It was the result of a research study conducted by UBM, which organises FHA, and Euromonitor which surveyed over 1,000 suppliers and manufacturers covering major food, hotel and foodservice equipment sectors across Asia.
The white paper delved into questions such as where these manufacturers and suppliers expect their import and export business to take shape in the next one to three years, as well as how technology, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and automation, will shape their future markets and affect business decisions.
“The bespoke study on smart innovations for the food and hospitality industry was demonstrative of FHA’s commitment to drive our industry forward,” said Rodolphe Laymese, project director, food and hospitality, UBM.
It provided invaluable insights into the Asian and global food market, which the organisers shared with all members of the community at their 40th anniversary event.
“The food and hospitality sector is undergoing rapid transformation in business and production processes because of technological changes. The white paper focuses on how technology impacts and changes how the industry conducts its business, the processes and how it will help the industry improve operational and work efficiencies, as well as productivity,” said Ivan Uzunov, research manager, Euromonitor.
The paper will only be available to pre-registered attendees of FHA. It will also be made available to all delegates attending Euromonitor’s highly interactive session on Smart Innovations Transforming the Food and Hospitality Landscape by 2020 at the FHA 2018 International Conference.
The four-day conference, which will be held at two venues (Singapore Expo and Suntec Singapore) between April 24 and 27, will feature industry experts and business thought leaders, sharing perspectives, tips and strategies across five key tracks: hotels and resorts, food manufacturing and bakery at Singapore Expo and central kitchen and foodservice at Suntec Singapore.
FHA is the preferred choice for industry professionals to access an international showcase of food and hospitality products, equipment and solutions needed to drive business inspiration.
The event will host its biggest-ever industry congregation with 4,000 international exhibitors from more than 70 countries and regions, spanning vertical sectors from food and beverages, foodservice and hospitality equipment to hospitality technology service providers.
It will offer many experiential networking and learning opportunities through new and improved specialty zones and industry-renowned competitions, such as the FHA Culinary Challenge 2018, the Asian Pastry Cup 2018 and the inaugural Asian Gelato Cup. About 78,000 trade professionals from over 100 countries and regions are expected to attend.
