EVENTS

Welcome to the second edition of FoodMed Conference in Hong Kong!

Integrating Food and Chinese Medicine: Exploring Science, Technology, and Holistic Approaches for Health

The inaugural FoodMed 2024 Conference in Hong Kong brought together 300+ researchers, practitioners, innovators, and regulators to advance dialogue at the intersection of food, Chinese medicine, and healthcare. Through insightful discussions and a dynamic exhibition, FoodMed 2024 explored scientific validation, safety, regulatory pathways, and real‑world applications of food as medicine, laying a strong foundation for cross‑disciplinary collaboration and evidence‑based innovation.

Building on this momentum, FoodMed 2026 will focus on deepening translation and impact — innovating with evidence-based approach, accelerating technology translation, aligning regulation, and exploring business opportunities. As global interest in Food as Medicine (FAM) gains momentum, FoodMed 2026 will continue to convene global regulators, scientists, industry leaders, and investors to build practical bridges between traditional wisdom and modern innovation, shaping the future of public health through global collaboration and shared expertise.

Highlights

• Supranational Strategies: Learn about global efforts from WHO, FAO, IAEA, UNIDO, CFSA, and other regional agencies
• Innovation and Technology: Highlight cutting-edge translational research and ecosystem shaping the future of FAM
• Scientific Validation: Explore how modern technologies enhance efficacy, safety, and evidence for medicinal properties of foods and traditional medicine
• Regulatory and Safety: Gain insights in regulatory perspectives across jurisdictions on the food medicine interface, health claims, and pre‑market safety for functional and nutraceutical products
• Market Landscape and Investment: Understand the latest market dynamics and budding opportunities for FAM

FoodMed 2026 features an inspiring lineup of keynotes and dynamic plenary sessions, alongside engaging projects and start-up pitching, exhibitions, and networking opportunities.
