On February 17, 2025, the 2025 Boao Food for Health Science Conference and Expo (hereinafter referred to as "FHE2025") will be held as scheduled. "Disseminating scientific evidence, promoting international exchanges and cooperation, and leading technological innovation" is the unchanging purpose of FHE, but compared with the previous session, FHE2025 has bolder ideas, more innovative topics, larger scale, richer content and higher scientific level, including 2 pilot meetings, 6 sections and 9 innovation forums. By then, more than 10 academicians will attend the conference, and three groups of regulatory authorities, scientists and enterprises will "perform" on the same stage.

Communicate scientific evidence and showcase innovations

FHE is divided into two systems: "sections" and "innovation forums", and each section has special symposia.

Among them, the "New Technologies and New Products" section has always been the highlight of FHE, which will focus on displaying the industry's innovative achievements and disseminating relevant scientific evidence. FHE2025 continues this section and optimizes its symposia, focusing on setting up symposia on topics such as "Clinical Research on Functional Oils and Fats" and "Synthetic Biology Foods".

Old topic NMN, new progress in NMN clinical research; HMO, potential application prospects beyond infant and young children formula food.

The Big Food view emphasizes a holistic, long-term and strategic perspective on food resources, requiring us to pay attention to food security as well as nutritional health and food diversity. Synthetic biology plays a pivotal role in practicing the Big Food view and the innovative development of future food. As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine culture, food and medicine homology has an important position and influence internationally.

Give predictive suggestions to enable the industry to better "show its strength"

The FHE2025 Pilot Conference continued the previous Investment and Financing Forum for Food for Health, inviting industry experts and representatives of related leading enterprises to analyze and assess the industry's investment and financing situation, the development trend of the food for health industry, etc., so as to provide new ideas and solutions for the high-quality development of the industry through face-to-face exchanges between scientists and investors.

In terms of section settings, "Food for Special Medical Purpose" and "Sports Food" are fascinating. In addition, compared with previous conference, FHE2025 has set up more innovation forums. In response to the current severe situation of population aging, a forum on "Food for Health to Make Up for Nutritional Gaps - Foods Suitable for the Elderly" is set up; In response to the rapid increase in obesity rate, a forum on "Food for Health and Weight Management" is set up; In response to the trend of expansion of market demand for coffee products, a forum on "Coffee and Healthy Development" is set up; In response to the high popularity of preprepared dishes, but mixed public opinions, a forum on "High-quality Development of Preprepared Foods and Industrial Innovation" is set up.

Overall, the setting of FHE2025 Innovation Forum has more topics that are more in line with current hot topics and richer content. The frank dialogue among regulatory authorities, academia and industry can point out a clearer direction for industrial development. Only when all parties work together can the promising food for health industry truly achieve great things.
