๐ From Idea to Shelf: What Does It Really Take to Turn an Idea into a Product?
Every great food product starts with a spark โ but getting from a promising idea to something that is feasible, compliant and ready for the market is where the real work begins.
So, what happens between the initial idea and the finished product?
Join us for a FREE full-day, hands-on workshop that takes you through the practical innovation journey.
Along the way, youโll:
๐งช Explore where food product ideas typically succeed โ and where they can fall short
๐ญ See innovation in action with a guided tour of NYPโs pilot plant, from formulation to finished product
๐ Discover how standards can support innovation by providing practical checkpoints throughout the development journey โ rather than being viewed simply as red tape
๐ก Put ideas into practice by brainstorming and pitching your own product concept in groups
Led by Dr. Heng Hui Gan, this workshop is designed for professionals in food product development, R&D and innovation who want a practical, end-to-end look at what it takes to move an idea from concept towards the shelf.
