Adding value to Dairy
Nordic Dairy Congress
The count-down for the Nordic Dairy Congress 2017 recently
passed 100 days. An ambitious programme with insightful and
state of the art substance awaits the participants of the congress,
which is held in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark 7-9 June 2017.
The 44th Nordic Dairy Congress brings together prominent
speakers from around the world within the areas of Green Solutions,
Healthy Dairy Products, Improving Efficiency and All-Time High
Food Safety from both the academic world as well as the industry.
Furthermore, the opening is in hands of the CEO of Scandinavia’s
largest dairy company Arla Foods amba, Mr. Peder Tuborgh.
Applicable solutions to dairy
The Coordinator of the Programme Committee, Grith Mortensen,
is delighted by the outcome of months of hard work. She considers
the programme to be covering some of the key challenges
faced by the dairy industry in 2017 with applicable solutions.
• It has been imperative for us that all speakers focus on how their
knowledge adds value to the entire dairy industry and make it applicable,
she says referring to the title of the conference, Adding Value.
Flash talks and difficult decisions
As an especially positive and new feature of the programme, Grith
Mortensen draws attention to the flash talks. For each of the four subtitles:
Green solutions; All-time High Food Safety; Improving Efficiency
and Healthy Dairy Products there will be three short presentations.
• There has been great enthusiasm among young Ph.D.-students
and postdocs, and unfortunately, we had to turn down loads of
good presentations, which we would have love to bring on.
Asked what she is most eager to attend at the conference,
Grith Mortensen states that exactly that is her core problem:
• I would love to be able to attend to parallel sessions at a time in
order not to miss out on anything. Which means that this is the
biggest problem. Now, being part of the planning, I must be at the
Green Solutions session – and I am really looking forward to that.
Prominent panel debate
The congress concludes with a panel debate, where specially invited
and prominent people from the industry bring perspective to
the new knowledge with time for discussions and inputs. The panel
speakers are Thomas Hahlin Ahlinder, Global Sales Director, Du-
Pont, Niels Petter Wright, CEO, Elopak, Monica Gimre, Vice President,
Tetra Pak Processing, Svend Aage Linde, CEO, Eurofins, Åke
Hantoft, Chairman of the board, Arla Foods and Karen Hækkerup,
CEO, Danish Agriculture & Food Council.The full program may be
viewed at nordicdairycongress.com.
The Nordic Dairy Congresses have been celebrated every second
or third year for the past 100 years almost. The first congress
was held in Oslo, Norway in 1920 and the 2017-Congress
will be the 44th.
Grith Mortensen looks forward to share two days with friends
and colleagues adding value to dairy.
