Spotlight for the food future
In 2025, Anuga HORIZON becomes a stage – and more. As a curated hub for those rethinking nutrition, it opens up space for new perspectives, deep dives and real exchange. Centrally located in Hall 1 and embedded within the new Anuga Alternatives segment, it brings forward the topics that are reshaping – and soon transforming – the industry.
The spotlight is on products based on alternative proteins, pioneering technologies, regenerative approaches and new business models. The HORIZON Stage brings these strands together – acting as a content driver, a platform for solutions, and a space where innovation becomes tangible.

Located at the heart of Anuga Alternatives, the HORIZON Stage becomes a focal point for future-driven content – in the space, in the conversation, and across Anuga’s digital channels. For exhibiting companies, participation in the stage programme offers an additional touchpoint – both on site and online – to position their innovation stories where they belong: at the centre of attention.

Dialogue, Not Monologue
The HORIZON Stage thrives on dialogue – no rigid lectures, but real interaction. Its diverse mix of formats ranges from powerful keynotes to interactive panels and participatory discussions. A particular highlight: innovative special formats that break new ground with bold debates and unconventional questions. This is where networking happens, courageous conversations unfold, and fresh ideas are explored. Open to spontaneous participation. Open to new perspectives. Open to everyone who wants to actively shape the future.
Hot Debate
It's an interactive format tackling the big questions of our time. Bold statements and clear positions take centre stage: agree or disagree, it's all about stepping forward and being heard. Guided by dynamic moderation, the discussion remains honest, focused, and brimming with energy. With themes like the future of food, regenerative systems, or AI’s impact on the food industry, this isn’t about winning arguments – it’s about broadening perspectives and exploring solutions.
Truth or Drink
Dare to be truthful – or take a sip of courage? Truth or Drink strips away pretence and opens doors to raw, unfiltered conversations. With two guests, unflinching questions, and a simple choice – answer or drink – this intimate setting explores topics like health and functional food, cutting-edge technologies, and circular systems. Personal, honest, and often surprising, this is a discussion format you won’t forget. It’s the future of food, laid bare and unexpectedly human.
