Informa Markets, show organizer of Fi Europe CONNECT, announced the winners of this year’s Innovation Awards and the Startup Innovation Challenge for their groundbreaking offerings during virtual award ceremonies held on December first and second.
Plant-based and alternative ingredients took center stage in both awards, with winners presenting solutions for healthier plant proteins, fungal-derived food colorants and edible coatings for fruit and vegetables, among many other cutting-edge innovations. Because of this year’s pandemic, contest participants’ entry reviews and presentations, jury evaluations and awards ceremonies all took place virtually.
