Customer Foresight: looking beyond the horizon
Component content
Leveraging big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep expertise to anticipate the future of food.
The food and beverage industry is undergoing a transformative shift driven by rapidly changing consumer and customer needs.
From enabling the movement to more mindful and planet-friendly diets to helping consumers achieve their wellbeing goals, meeting these vast expectations requires a new kind of thinking.
Givaudan’s Customer Foresight leverages big data, AI, and our deep, proprietary food industry expertise to anticipate future challenges and consumer expectations. Weak signals lead us to potential scenarios and ultimately to new product experiences. As the platform continues to learn through AI, it will be able to provide actionable foresight that extends a decade or more into the future.
