X FOOD TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

Next May, 2021,  the National Technological Centre for the Food and Canning Industry CTC will host the 10th International Symposium on Food Technology in Murcia (Spain), making the Region of Murcia the center of attention of the food technology world once again.

The new edition of this event, which is held every two years to give  agrofood companies time to carry out their R&D projects, will focus on three highly relevant topics selected by the Technical Committee of the Symposium.

The aim of the Symposium is to favor state-of-the-art technology transfer for sectoral firms; to do that, important national and international technologists have been invited to participate and share their knowledge and experience with other participants and attendees.
