The inspiration behind the showcase

As consumers seek healthier, more convenient options, the demand for nutrient-dense foods is growing—especially among active aging individuals and those with smaller appetites, including GLP-1 users. For food and drink manufacturers, this presents an exciting opportunity to innovate.

At this exclusive event, Azelis will unveil a menu of new concept formulations designed to meet these evolving needs. From breakfast to evening snacks, their solutions deliver balanced nutrition in convenient, smaller portions.

Azelis' solutions and concepts will be presented across five unique sessions.
