Chocovision 2016: ”Make it matter”

The cocoa and chocolate industry is thriving… with a popular product, stable growth rates and wide scope for innovation. It is also an industry with a complex supply chain and a number of challenges, as well as opportunities, along that chain. For example, sustainability issues which are now center stage, rapidly changing consumer habits, an evolving digital landscape or the looming obesity crisis.

Delegates from around the world will discuss how we can all play a role in transforming the industry for the better and have a lasting positive impact. This guiding principle inspired the motto of Chocovision: ”Make it matter”.
