KUALA LUMPUR: Big Idea Ventures (BIV), a global leader in early-stage investments in the food technology sector, has partnered with the leading global trade show organiser Informa Markets to create an Alternative Protein Pavilion at five Food & Hospitality events across Asia this year.
According to a statement, BIV’s Pavilion will host eight to 10 alternative protein companies worldwide under one roof, with booths made available to the selected companies at a special rate.
There are still booth spaces left within the pavilion and BIV is opening applications to the best alternative protein companies globally. Availability will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
