The conference agenda also will include panel discussions with food industry leaders, conversations with successful entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, and remarks from state and national government leaders.
Lou Cooperhouse, founder of RutgersX and director of the Rutgers Food Innovation Center, said each company offers an individualistic approach to its products that, he thinks, has great potential.
