Campden BRI day 2015

Promoting innovation

The theme for the day was 'Driving innovation', featuring:

• Innovation for product safety
• Innovation for quality and value
• Innovation for nutrition and well-being.

The themes were based on the Innovation needs' document that we published earlier in the year.

Open areas - your toolbox for innovation

Visitors also took the opportunity to tour our open areas - pilot bakery, food hall pilot plant and consumer and sensory science - with the chance to explore the senses.
