I had the pleasure of announcing the creation of the new 'Innovation and Technology' award category at the Des Grands Prix DUX 2023 gala held at the Bonsecours Market in Montreal. The RCIA, in collaboration with Les Grands Prix DUX, are partnering to create this new award that will highlight innovative initiatives in Quebec's food processing industry!
The submitted projects must be truly transformative. They must contribute to advancing our industry.
Projects must:
-Enable the development of smart products and processes;
-Promote the sustainability of the food ecosystem (such as waste reduction, development of eco-friendly and smart packaging) and/or
-Create agile and secure supply chains. (This includes projects related to logistics, sanitation, or food safety).
I will provide you with more details about the competition in the coming months!Here are some photos from the Gala and the cocktail reception:
