At the summit, there will be thought-provoking discussions on key topics such as policy alignment, infrastructure development and market innovation. We’ll explore how targeted policies can integrate circular economy practices into dairy processing and how innovative solutions like resource recycling and anaerobic digestion can close critical infrastructure gaps. Industry leaders will share insights on creating demand for sustainable dairy products and fostering partnerships across the supply chain.

The event will also spotlight the vital role of research and development in driving dairy-specific circular solutions, emphasizing collaboration between academia, industry and government. Attendees will have the opportunity to advocate for funding and support innovation projects that are essential for the future of the dairy industry.

Join us in raising awareness and promoting knowledge sharing across the entire dairy value chain—from farmers to consumers.
