"Future Lab" spotlights tomorrow’s trends – today

Berlin, 10 December 2013 – FRUIT LOGISTICA once again underlines its status as innovative springboard for the international fresh produce trade. "Future Lab", a new series of events, will present products, projects and solutions that can enhance the fruit and vegetable industry with innovations in the coming years, or contribute significantly to optimisation along the value chain. "As organisers, we see the wide-ranging developments in fresh produce industry and how certain sectors are changing in response to new challenges. Our Future Lab offers the industry a forum where the latest developments can be presented, discussed and thought through. These projects presented at FRUIT LOGISTICA can potentially have a significant impact on the medium-term development of the fresh produce sector," says Gérald Lamusse, FRUIT LOGISTICA Global Brand Manager. On all three exhibition days, FRUIT LOGISTICA 2014 visitors can look forward to a series of fascinating half-hour sessions covering innovative topics ranging from a "Quantum leap in lettuce breeding", to "Information superhighway for fruits & vegetables" and "Fighting Black Sigatoka".
