This hands-on workshop reveals how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing market research and product development, giving forward-thinking businesses a critical competitive advantage.
Learn to leverage AI tools to dramatically reduce research timelines while improving accuracy in trend identification. Through real case studies, you'll see how companies have successfully transformed emerging patterns into profitable product categories—often before competitors even recognize the opportunity exists. We'll guide you through practical frameworks for closing the gap between spotting a trend and launching a market-ready product, with specific focus on recognizing which patterns have genuine scale potential versus fleeting fads.
Participants will leave with actionable methodologies for integrating AI into their innovation processes, cutting research time in half while making more confident, data-driven decisions about product development and market entry.

A revolutionary workshop by architect and food design pioneer Martin who has focused almost exclusively on the cultural history and development of food design. This concise workshop will explore:
The sensory perception involved in eating (tasting, smelling, touching, hearing, seeing) and its impact on food design
Sensory trends driven by technological and sustainable developments
The consequences of functional and technological aspects, such as preservation, production methods, logistics or AI, on the design of edible products
Through examples, the necessity of analyzing cultural contexts is demonstrated. A product that does not fit into the everyday culture of a target market or align with foreseeable cultural conditions (lifestyles) will not sell.
The importance of cultural frameworks: culturally influenced eating behaviors in different societies
The significance of ecological sustainability for the current and future market with a focus on technology
The untapped potential of food narratives and food aesthetics
