E Tipu is a cornerstone event in the agrifood industry, bringing together key stakeholders, thought leaders, farmers and growers and innovators to discuss the latest trends and opportunities shaping the future of food production and consumption.

E Tipu means ‘to grow’: figuratively and literally this has meaning for our food production, food innovation and capability building across the sector.

E Tipu will bring together the full value chain from farmers and growers through to the customer offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore new ideas, forge partnerships, and drive positive change in the industry.

Designed to spark transformations.

E Tipu brings people together people from across the agrifood sector globally — from the start of the supply chain to the finished products — to explore how we can be more innovative, collaborative, sustainable and profitable, now and into the future.

This summit is not a talk fest. Through action-oriented workshops and valuable networking opportunities, it’s about connecting, arming and inspiring changemakers from across the industry for what comes next — so they take specific, positive action the very next day.
