“The coronavirus outbreak has impacted so many aspects of our daily lives,” commented Richard Hall, Chairman of Zenith Global, “but there has been limited analysis so far on how it will influence new product development.”
“The 2020 InnoBev Awards will help build awareness for the latest thinking on what consumers most want from beverage innovation. I greatly look forward to seeing whether it will be more natural, local or sustainable, ethical, healthy and affordable or more technology driven, functional, indulgent and premium. The truth is likely to be a combination.”
