Looking Ahead to 2026
In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming Ann Wurman, CEO of Fevia, for an in-depth discussion on the key challenges currently facing the Belgian food industry.
Together, we look back at the main takeaways from 2025, the progress of Fevia’s roadmap to strengthen the sector’s competitiveness, and the complex trade-offs between regulatory pressure, sustainable transition, cost control and the ability to innovate.
We also address a central topic for the future of the industry: talent, tomorrow’s skills, and the concrete actions being implemented to attract and retain the profiles the sector will need.
Finally, Ann Wurman shares her strategic priorities for 2026 and the trends that will shape the year ahead, offering a clear, action-oriented vision firmly focused on the long term.
A must-listen episode for anyone who wants to understand where the Belgian food industry is heading and how it is preparing for the challenges ahead.
