We are honored to introduce Denis Chéreau, CEO of IMPROVE, as a member of the advisory board for the Bridge2Food Plant-Based Foods & Proteins Ecosystem.
We spoke with Denis about why he joined the EcoSystem and how it has helped IMPROVE to move forward in the alternative protein space.
Why are you part of the advisory board?
After 10 years of participation at Bridge2Food protein events it is key for IMPROVE to support this initiative in order to keep the moment of plant-based protein ingredient development at the highest level.
Why is your organisation a partner?
Because the Bridge2Food ecosystem is the most dynamic network in the world around plant-based protein.
What do you think the EcoSystem can do for others in the field?
It can bring information, connections and generate partnerships. It has been a major opportunity for members to stay connected and to move forward during Covid.
