Overview

Join us in this webinar and get a taste of how industry players can jump on the bandwagon, make the most of AI for business continuity and sustainability, and learn about the barriers that need to be overcome before AI can become F&B industry drivers.

90% of Food & Beverages (F&B) executives conveyed their beliefs in Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) capabilities to improve their business operations and bottom-line growth. With more F&B players coming into the game and changing consumer expectations, every player will inevitably fight to grab a larger slice of the pie to differentiate themselves by innovation through technology. 
 
When we talk about blending AI with an F&B business, this could mean using tools such as machine learning and behavioural analytics to enable business owners to make more accurate, data-driven business decisions. AI spices up the F&B industry by flavouring customer experiences and improving inventory management, amongst other benefits. However, to tap into this massive opportunity, both internal and external challenges hinder companies from successfully deploying AI into their F&B business. 
 
Join us in this webinar and get a taste of how industry players can jump on the bandwagon, make the most of AI for business continuity and sustainability, and learn about the barriers that need to be overcome before AI can become F&B industry drivers.
