Stay tuned as Alan walks us through the science of great communication and shares how you can immediately apply these skills to enhance your business and personal interactions.

Functional Foods with Tony Callaghan (SomaTech) & David Hartigan (Blink Drinks)

If you’ve ever wanted food that does more than just fill you up, you’re in for a treat. We're exploring the innovative world of functional foods – food products that offer added health benefits beyond basic nutrition.

Tony Callaghan, founder of SomaTech, is revolutionizing the food industry using solid-state fermentation technology and fungi to create sustainable, high-value ingredients. He’s on a mission to change the future of food.

David Hartigan, founder of Blink Drinks, is bringing mushrooms into the drinks industry to boost health and wellness. While they aren’t yet using SomaTech’s fungi, we wouldn’t be surprised if that changes soon!

Tony and David are also part of the Food Works Programme, a fantastic initiative supporting innovative food entrepreneurs. Join us as they tell us about the programme and the future of functional food.
