2. INVITATION
Dear Madam or Sir,
The European Technology Platforms “Food For Life” and “Manufuture” together with the whole consortium
of the FoodManufuture project (GA nr. 289397 funded under FP7) will spot light on the EU food factory of
the future.
European Food Manufacturing in 2025 may be far more automatized, sustainable, flexible, and intelligent
and based on novel business models. How and why? What are the needs and which needs may be covered
from inventions made for other sectors? These are some of the questions in focus. Based on visions, mapping
and analyses made with and by stakeholders from the food sector and from the manufacturing technologies
sector, FoodManufuture has performed a Conceptual Design Study for a European Food Manufacturing
Research Infrastructure. The infrastructure will build on existing infrastructures and give access from any
part of Europe. The Research Infrastructure will aim at boosting competitiveness and innovativeness of the
food manufacturing sector through cutting-edge research, dedicated and involving knowledge transfer, and
motivating education.
We would be pleased if you could actively participate to our final event and influence how we can make our
dreams come true. Please join us in Brussels the 18th December 2013 (Academy Palace, 1 Rue Ducale).

We are looking forward to seeing you soon in Brussels and remain with our best regards.
