Transforming waste into ingredients, using food safety as a driver of innovation, reformulating foods, and personalizing diets are strategic directions that, together, can change the way we conceive of food.

OnFoods will explore these themes in a two-day series of talks at Cibus Tec Forum 2025, the triennial event organized by Koeln Parma Exhibitions (KPE) – a joint venture between Koelnmesse and Fiere di Parma – scheduled for October 28–29, 2025, in Parma, at the heart of Italy’s Food Valley.

OnFoods, the largest Italian ecosystem for food research — established with the support of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and composed of 26 partner organizations including universities, research centers, companies, and institutions — will bring to Cibus Tec Forum 2025 its advanced scientific expertise, concrete project initiatives, and opportunities for technology transfer to benefit the agro-industry and food-tech sectors.

The format of Cibus Tec Forum, structured as a two-day exhibition-conference dense with content and networking opportunities, offers OnFoods an ideal platform to present the challenges and results of its research, the innovation models it is developing, and the future scenarios that are reshaping the food system.
