Welcome Message
Welcome to the second edition of FoodMed Conference, where we continue our mission of advancing the science, innovation, and application of food as medicine.
Building on the success of our inaugural conference, which brought together over 300 researchers, healthcare professionals, innovators, regulators, and industry leaders, FoodMed 2026 focuses on strengthening the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world health solutions. Through the theme, “Integrating Food and Chinese Medicine: Exploring Science, Technology, and Holistic Approaches for Health,” we will examine how evidence-based innovation, emerging technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration can unlock new opportunities for preventive healthcare and wellness.
Over the course of this conference, we will explore the latest developments in scientific validation, technology translation, regulatory advancement, and commercialization pathways. From bioactive compounds and functional ingredients to clinical evidence and holistic health approaches, the programme will showcase how traditional wisdom and modern science can converge to address global health challenges.
Collaboration remains at the heart of FoodMed. By bringing together global regulators, scientists, healthcare practitioners, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue and build practical bridges between research, innovation, and implementation.
Join us as we take the next step in shaping the future of healthcare through the scientifically validated integration of food and Chinese medicine. Your expertise, insights, and partnership are essential to driving lasting impact and advancing health for communities worldwide.
