The Innovation Discovery program at PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2013 gives food brand owners a chance to tap into business-building ideas.

The program is geared toward companies bringing buying groups to PACK EXPO, scheduled September 23-25. The conference is produced by PMMI the Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.

Competitive advantage

According to PMMI president and CEO Charles D. Yuska, the Innovation Discovery program can help food processors and brand managers gain an edge.

Buying teams at PACK EXPO often take a ‘divide-and-conquer’ approach, sending out subgroups that investigate specific solutions,” he said​. “Innovation Discovery helps them maximize that approach with benefits that include help arranging meetings with exhibitors​.”

Joining forces

Yuska said the program fits into PMMI’s goal of helping processing and packaging professionals make beneficial connections.

PMMI’s mission charges us with convening the packaging and processing supply chain, bringing everyone together to advance their businesses​,” he said.
