The New Foods Forum (NFF) is now entering its third year of operation.  This R&D engine provides new ideas and generates research and development opportunities for food and drink companies.  The Forum brings industry representatives together with academics, researchers and scientists to create a driving force for the food, drink and allied industries in the field of functional foods.

Focusing scientific expertise on the area of new foods research and development puts member companies at the forefront of developments in this fast-moving area of food innovation.  Through the interaction between academics and practitioners, the NFF generates innovative new food and drink ingredients, products and processes.  These new developments are selected by and further developed with industry partners.  Proposals are tailored towards the areas of interest of company members. 

Currently industry members have the option to take several proposals of interest to the next stage of development, which will provide opportunities for accelerated company progression in this field.  Other ideas are being developed for selection at the next NFF meeting. 

Membership of the forum is now expanding and benefits include new business opportunities, rapid routes to market, increased margins and greater R&D and innovation opportunities.
