SINGAPORE, March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Food&HotelAsia (FHA) announced the launch of an Industry White Paper in collaboration with Euromonitor International, to celebrate the event's 40^th anniversary. Titled: Smart Innovations Transforming the Food and Hospitality Landscape by 2020, this 20-page milestone report provides a unique insight into major disruptors impacting the industry.

The White Paper is the result of a research study conducted by UBM and Euromonitor which surveyed over 1,000 suppliers and manufacturers covering major food, hotel and foodservice equipment sectors across Asia. The White Paper dives into questions such as where these manufacturers and suppliers expect their import and export business to take shape in the next one to three years, as well as how technology such as Internet of Things (IoT) and automation will shape their future markets and affect business decisions.

"This bespoke study on Smart Innovations for the food and hospitality industry is demonstrative of FHA's commitment to drive our industry forward," said Mr. Rodolphe Laymese, Project Director, Food & Hospitality, UBM, organiser of FHA. "It provides invaluable insight into the Asian and Global Food market which we proudly share with all members of the community at our 40th anniversary milestone event."

"The food and hospitality sector is undergoing rapid transformation in business and production processes because of technological changes. The White Paper focuses on how technology impacts and changes how the industry conducts its business, the processes and how it will help the industry improve operational and work efficiencies, as well as productivity," said Ivan Uzunov, Research Manager, Euromonitor.

The paper will only be available to pre-registered attendees of FHA. It will also be made available to all delegates attending Euromonitor's highly interactive session on "Smart Innovations Transforming the Food & Hospitality Landscape by 2020" at the FHA2018 International Conference. The three-day conference, held in two venues from 24 to 26 April, will feature industry experts and business thought-leaders, sharing perspectives, tips and strategies across five key tracks: Hotels & Resorts, Food Manufacturing and Bakery at Singapore Expo; Central Kitchen and Food Services at Suntec Singapore.
