IUFoST President Prof. Samuel Godefroy

“This Congress represents the largest global gathering of experts in food science, food technology, and various areas of food safety, nutrition, sustainability, and other developments involving and impacting food systems. Our aim is to bring together scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and current and future professionals from across the world. This is meant to be a unique platform where knowledge is shared, where ideas are challenged, and where solutions could be developed to address some of the most pressing issues facing our food systems today.”

Congress Chair Prof. Anlong Xu

“It is particularly meaningful for me to extend this invitation from a city that embodies so many of the values and visions of this Congress. Hong Kong is in many ways a natural home for a global gathering on food science and technology. ... At the same time, Hong Kong serves as a major international hub connecting East and West, linking the Asia-Pacific region to the rest of the world. This unique crossroads makes it an ideal platform for dialogue, collaboration and the sharing of ideas across disciplines and regions.”

IUFoST Secretary General Judith Meech

“Hosted in Hong Kong's premier convention centers, they are minutes from the international airport and linked by fast public transport. The Asia World Expo and the Marriott Hotels combined to provide the setting for this scientific meeting on a global scale. We feature multiple lecture halls, hybrid-ready meeting rooms, major scientific exhibition area, dedicated poster zones, networking lounges and continuous refreshments for informal discussions.”
