ooking to answer the question of how to enable 10
billion people by 2050 to live a good life within the
boundaries of the planet, Bühler brought together
more than 1,000 decision makers from the food, feed and
mobility sectors at its headquarters in Uzwil, Switzerland.
During its Networking Days, an event it holds every
three years, Bühler highlighted solutions from global
companies, entrepreneurs, startups, academia and nongovernment
organizations that can be found and delivered
at an impactful scale. With the theme of " Accelerating
impact together, " Stefan Scheiber, chief executive officer,
said he hoped the event would create inspiration across
industries, cultures and geographic boundaries.
" We need solutions, we need them much faster, we
need to create impact and in order to scale, we need collaboration, "
he said.
No single entity, whether it's a country, company or individual,
has the resources, know-how or reach to tackle
the global challenges facing the world.
" We need massive collaboration among industries,
startups, academia, educators, politics, NGOs and the
public to manage and limit the effects of climate change,
loss of biodiversity, and eliminate poverty, " said Ian
Roberts, chief technology officer, Bühler.
Bühler announced multiple joint ventures and partnerships
during the event that involved industry synergies
and technological advances aimed at mitigating climate
change. It will work with Endeco for complete solutions
from crops to plant-based meat and dairy analogues and
on the construction of a Protein Application Center in
Uzwil.
Eridia, a joint venture with Austria-based Zeta, will engineer
food and feed biotechnology plants primarily in the
fields of precision fermentation and cellular agriculture.
Precision fermentation uses microorganisms to produce
nutrients and functional ingredients, which reduces the
impact of feed production in arable land, biodiversity and
greenhouse gas emissions.
Bühler also will partner with IMDHER, which specializes
in building turnkey plants for animal feed, aqua
and pet food plants in Mexico. The new company, called
IMDHER Bühler, will offer Bühler's core machines as
well as IMDHER's expertise to IMDHER's customers,
providing solutions that will help them to improve the capacity
and efficiency of their operations.
Other partnerships announced during the event included
Vyncke, for the production of clean energy from
biomass and recovered fuel; Flottweg for separation techA

customers have brought to market were highlighted in the
