A strong line-up of seminar topics will be in the offing at the upcoming FoodTech Queensland exhibition at the end of this month, with speakers such as Wiley's Brett Wiskar set to take the stage.
As Wiley’s commercial technology director, Wiskar (pictured) is keen to share knowledge, discuss food industry trends and review new technologies at the show.
Wiskar's seminar presentation is titled 'Nine billion dinner guests: Smarter ways to feed the market’ and he will speak on Monday 27 June at 11am.
He will discuss how technology, data, and innovation can essentially feed the world’s hungry markets.
“The world’s population will reach nine billion by 2050, and as members of the supply chain that will feed those markets, we have to find smart solutions to tomorrow’s challenges,” he said.
“Our food industry must scale up, control costs, and maintain quality at a record pace, and new software in data analysis and technology is critical in helping us do this.”
Visitors to the Wiley stand will be able to meet Kuka’s KR AGILUS robot and find out how it's changing the way food is processed, packaged and delivered.
“The bot helps food processors improve efficiency, accuracy and safety,” Wiskar said.
Focusing on food processing in Australia, with a particular emphasis on the Queensland market, FoodTech will offer education, networking opportunities and a snapshot of new products on the market.
It will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26 to 28 June.

The event will take place alongside the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology's 49th Annual Convention.
