Food Valley Expo is staged for and by representatives of the agrifood sector, business, research and development, government and intermediary organisations. Food Valley is the driving force behind the expo and is bringing these parties together for a purpose. "For many of the professionals working in the sector this is one of the highlights of the year," says Roger van Hoesel, director of the Food Valley. "It's a special day where new contacts are made, people are inspired and new ideas take shape."

Food Valley Expo will see the presentation of the annual Food Valley Award to a company which has distinguished itself in an innovative way in the food(-related) field. The winner of the prize stands out in areas including innovation, collaboration and corporate social responsibility. The 3 nominees for the Food Valley Award 2011 will be announced at the end of June.
