Management of New Product Development
for the food and beverage sector
27th March 2025 | 9.30am – 5pm
Teagasc Food Research Centre, Ashtown
Innovation and the development of new products is essential to the success and profitability of Irish food businesses. While companies proactively develop and launch new products to meet the changing demands of consumers and ensure growth opportunities, many of these new products fail post launch. Research indicates that the root cause of these failures can be attributed to an ineffective new product development (NPD) process. This course will introduce best practice methods for the successful management of NPD processes within a food business.
The fee for this event is €500 per participant (€325 for those eligible for funding by Taste4Success Skillnet).
