(2nd edition to be published September 2024)

Be part of Gira’s second Gira Ingredients Club this September…focusing on sustainability, protein alternatives and development strategies, etc

Why the Gira Ingredients Club?

Gira created the Gira Ingredients Club (GIC), dedicated to dairy and non-dairy ingredients, to address the shared objectives, issues, and challenges faced by clients from various sectors within the food industry.

Since Gira’s first Gira Dairy Club (GDC) in 2011, it became evident that what we called “Technical Dairy Ingredients (TDIs)” gained importance among our GDC members’ interests. The valorisation of these TDIs, some of which were previously considered as co-produced waste, now plays a crucial role in the bottom line of dairy companies. However, dairy proteins are not alone! The recent developments in plant-based ingredients (and other sources) and bioengineered molecules in the food industry present new opportunities and challenges.

What will you get at the Gira Ingredients Club?

• Key detailed and insightful presentations at our annual one-day conference, covering a range of topics such as sustainability, alternative proteins (plant-based & precision fermentation), development strategies.
• High-quality networking opportunities: dairy and ingredients companies (mainly CEOs, strategy planners, sales and procurement directors), our team of in-house experts and external food industry experts!
• ‘Ingredients Insights’ newsletters throughout the year (market situation, hot topics, main companies’ events, etc.), each supported by a webinar.
• Bi-annual update on Novel Ingredients reports & webinar (optional) with the first edition delving into meat alternatives
• Three special-focus studies at a client-exclusive price. Recent studies include ‘Global market for milk sugars: added value derivatives and applications’ and ‘Lactoferrin & Lactoperoxidase Global Markets ‘.

Gira has decades of expertise in organising and hosting events in ‘club’ format. We have been bringing major global dairy players together at the Gira Dairy Club (GDC) since 2011, and major global meat producers together at the Gira Meat Club (GMC) since 1975 and at the Gira Asia Meat Club (GAMC) since 2012.

What our clients say about our clubs…

“The Gira Dairy Club is the combination of “Open your Ears and Around the World in two days”. A data source and outlook that sparks new ideas, and all topped up with inputs from leading food and beverage industry experts are thinking, working on, and interested in – captured in a confidential and energized atmosphere made by the way GIRA has organized the events.”

“The presentations cover important topics that the dairy industry will be dealing with in the coming years. Expert speakers provide valuable insights. It is an effective way to interact with industry decision-makers in a convivial atmosphere”. 

“…while many statistics can be found or bought elsewhere, talking behind the scenes with Gira’s accomplished experts adds the extra edge to market understanding”.

“The expert team at Gira is very skilled at cutting through the very complex and noisy environment within which the food industry operates and coming up with very clear insights and forecasts to help understand what is happening in the food industry”.

“Gira cuts through the masses in information and highlights what is important and relevant to our industry and how we are positioned against competing proteins”.
