Join us on our journey exploring brand, trends and innovation in food and beverage. FoodBev Trend Explorer is the brainchild of Magali Renard. At 25, she was running one of Belgium’s largest start-up accelerators. A few years later, she started her second company, Renard Drinks. She created a new range of non-alcoholic food pairing drinks with her team. Marketed in the Belgian premium market and was backed and sold in 12 Michelin star restaurants in less than 18 months. As a pioneer in the market, she has learned by trial and error how dynamic the food industry is. Because all passion and enthusiasm aside, starting up a solid food brand is no mean feat. Knowing your product is one thing. Knowing when and how to market it is another. With this experience in her backpack, she helps other companies in innovation, market research and customer experience.
