Each week we're introducing a new speaker from our 2022 - 23 food & drink Trend Summit taking place this November. The second of our exciting and insightful speakers is Matthew Glover, the co-founder of Veganuary and MD at Veg Capital.
Matthew will be joining us to speak about the momentum behind vegan eating, why it's more relevant than ever, the impact of Veganuary, veganism in the context of a flexitarian diet and other exciting Veg Capital projects. He is a business activist focused on removing animals from the food system. He cofounded the Veganuary campaign in January 2014, and now heads the Veg Capital fund. Matthew is also the CEO of VFC, a Vegan Fried Chick*n brand launched in December 2020.
