Last month, Mars announced plans to invest €1 billion across the EU to enhance manufacturing and drive innovation. We continue to demonstrate our commitment to Europe as a hub for innovation. This week Mars Petcare participated in the EIT Food Next Bite 2025 event in Brussels. We joined other 1100 innovators, thought leaders, and changemakers to collectively shape the future of a competitive, resilient and sustainable food system - reinforcing Europe’s position as a hub for open and collaborative innovation. As EIT Food strategic partner, our involvement underscored the value of collaboration between industry, startups, and research entities, exploring opportunities aimed at accelerating innovation, promoting circularity, strengthening consumer trust, and improving market access and route to market. Special thanks to Marie Warren, Isabel Havens, and Jonathan Mars for their insights and commitment to advancing our mission and to the EIT Food team - Ana Arcila Murillo, Francesco Proscia, Gulsah Uysal, Kevin Camphuis, Richard Zaltzman and many others! Together, we’re working to unlock new solutions for a more sustainable future. Looking forward to keeping driving positive impact for pets, people, and the planet. #EITFood #NextBite #PetcareInnovation #SustainableFood #Collaboration #ABetterWorldforPets Mars Mars Petcare Royal Canin Cecile Coutens Stephanie Domange Sophie Lebecque Florian Wastl William Blomefield Caroline H.
