Technology is reshaping the food industry, enabling faster innovation, improved efficiency, and more personalised product offerings. But how are businesses navigating the balance between cutting-edge tools and consumer expectations, especially when it comes to new product development (NPD)?

In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded live at our Food Matters Live event in Ascot in October 2024, our expert panel discusses the role of technology in driving product development, from recipe management systems to the impact of artificial intelligence on the innovation process.

Technology can help us streamline NPD workflows and analyse vast amounts of consumer data, so how will that help companies, both large and small, innovate more effectively?

Our panel delves into the pros and cons of emerging technologies, the importance of balancing data-driven insights with the human touch, and how businesses are leveraging tech to scale quickly without compromising on quality.
