#Probiota16​

Scientific Frontiers is just one aspect of Probiota. What else can you expect? How about?

Digesting​ ​the latest game-changing prebiotic and probiotic science; engaging​​ with 200 of your industry peers; debating​​ with regulators and experts; assessing​​ start-up and major firm marketing and NPD moves; metabolising​​ global markets; enjoying​​ the best Amsterdam has to offer…

200 researchers, strategists, product developers, company chiefs, regulators and marketeers attended Probiota in Amsterdam this year – 2016 is set to be another unmissable edition.

Highlights of the event taking place at the Science Center NEMO​ in Amsterdam include:

• Nestlé Health Science on why non-replicating ‘zombie probiotics’ offer so much potential and are nothing to be afraid of.
• Global market drill-down with Euromonitor data guru Ewa Hudson. Asia, the Middle East and Africa matched to Europe.
• Latest in probiotic trial design to win claims.
• Find out why the pharmaceutical industry is so interested in probiotics.

• 

  Rhythm Health on how to make probiotics sexy (with coconut milk?)
• Latest from the newly formed International Probiotics Association (IPA-Europe) to break the EU health claims imbroglio and more.
• Inside the gut-brain axis.
• Prebiotic workshop.
• Chance to engage with regulators in the EU and beyond.
• How GoodBelly took probiotic juice from ‘natural’ to ‘mainstream’.
• Probiotics and sexology.
• Understanding the ageing microbiota.
• New strains, new effects.
• Synbiotics.
• Speed networking sessions to maximise precious face time.
• Developments in prebiotics and probiotics for infants.
• Night out in Amsterdam.

“I’m really excited about this programme,” ​said NutraIngredients senior editor Shane Starling. “Probiotics and prebiotics are a multi-billion euro global business but it is based on science, and it must exist within regulatory constraints with clever marketing and sensitive market savvy.”​

“We’ve got all these elements covered and I can’t wait to get everyone together again in Amsterdam in February. We apologise the programme is a little late this year, but I think it’s a wait that’s well worth it.”​
