We'll be at the Future of Protein Production conference 2026 (Amsterdam)
With 1,000+ attendees and 65+ exhibiting companies, this in-person conference and exhibition has become Europe's key meeting point for those working to scale novel foods.
The Future of Protein Production will cover the full breadth of alternative proteins, including plant-based, fermentation-derived, and other novel and emerging food technologies, with an expanded focus on health and wellness, longevity, and functional protein development.
In 2026, the event will be co-located with the Cultured Meat Symposium for the first time in Europe, with two dedicated conference tracks running side by side. A single ticket provides access to both, allowing delegates to move freely between sessions and explore complementary areas of the industry.

Why Meet Cibus Nexum?
Most outsourcing projects don't fail on technology; they fail on fit, governance and risk control. Timelines slip, quality incidents hit reputations, or costs creep up.
At Cibus Nexum, we use our FoodFlow approach to balance speed and risk:
Fast, structured partner search instead of ad-hoc matchmaking
Clear requirements, validation steps and QA gates
Governance that protects brand, margin and reputation
If you're looking to scale products, secure resilient capacity, or plug new ingredients into European manufacturing networks, Fi Europe is the right moment to explore how we can help.

Can Cibus Nexum Help You?
Retailers & Brands (incl. private label and scale-ups)
You want speed-to-shelf without betting your brand on an unproven partner. We help you expand private label or scale new products with validated co-manufacturers, clear agreements, and a controlled route from pilot to full scale-so you stay asset-light, but not risk-heavy.
Ingredient Developers & Innovators
You're bringing new ingredients, technologies or upcycled streams to market and need reliable production pathways. We help you scale in an asset-light way, find and onboard co-manufacturers who can handle your process, claims and regulatory context, especially for plant-based, better-for-you, and sustainable concepts.
Co-Manufacturers
You invest in capacity, quality and digitalization, but need the right kind of projects to fill your lines. We help you position your capabilities, fit into international value chains and build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with brands and ingredient owners, without compromising our independence.
