Electrolux has announced it will be a headline sponsor for the first European global food tech conference, Smart Kitchen Summit which will take place on the 11th-12th June in Dublin, Ireland.
The conference aims to bring together leaders, innovators and startup companies to explore the latest technology within the food ecosystem and how it can irrecoverably revolutionise customer cooking for good.
The first-ever European Smart Kitchen Summit aims to explore the impact that technology has on the entire food ecosystem: from how and where the food we eat is grown to the developing global problem of food waste, to making cooking easy and nutritious at home and more accessible as well as using data for personalised cooking journeys.
“We are pleased to partner with the Smart Kitchen Summit in exploring new ways of simplifying and personalising the consumer cooking journey through assisted cooking, new services, partnerships and the latest technology within the smart home. By bringing together key players within food, home appliances and tech we can move toward the goal to create an ecosystem where the consumer experience is enhanced by connectivity and digitisation,” said David Cronström, Head of Strategy and Ecosystems at Electrolux.
Speakers across Europe, will come together to discuss the evolution of cooking with new technologies emerging, trends in kitchen appliances, the role of AI and IoT on the smart kitchen platform, the transformation of food retail and commerce. The summit will bring together leaders from some of Europe’s largest food brands, appliance manufacturers and some of the most innovative startups across the food and cooking marketplace.
“With leaders like Electrolux innovating in the kitchen, new developments in cooking technologies and food science and a robust start-up community, 2018 was the right time to expand SKS into Europe,” said Michael Wolf, curator and founder of SKS and tech website The Spoon. “Technology is changing the way we create, buy and cook food and we look forward to an exciting day of discussions and demonstrations as we prepare for the future.”
