Building an Industry: How the Global Pet Nutrition Forum Is Shaping the Future of Pet Nutrition in the Philippines | Industry leaders, scientists, veterinarians, animal nutritionists and business executives gathered at the Global Pet Nutrition Forum 2026 with one shared goal — to help build and develop the pet nutrition industry in the Philippines through collaboration, research, and innovation.
The forum brought together around 300 participants from industry, academe, government, and research institutions, creating a platform for collaboration and long-term industry development.
According to Mr. Allan Casajeros, executive director of the Global Pet Nutrition Forum 2026, the vision of the forum goes beyond organizing a conference.
“This is not just about one event. We are trying to build collaboration, research, and industry development. If industry, academe, and government continue to work together, the Philippines has the potential to become a hub for pet nutrition science and innovation in the region,” he said.
The forum discussed topics such as pet food manufacturing, food safety, functional ingredients, artificial intelligence, and nutrition research, all of which are key components in building a modern pet food industry.
Industry leaders emphasized that building an industry requires collaboration between researchers, universities, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and government regulators.
Organizers hope that the Global Pet Nutrition Forum will continue to serve as a platform for leadership, collaboration, and innovation in the pet nutrition sector in the coming years.
The next Global Pet Nutrition Forum is scheduled for March 2027 and is expected to be larger and more international in scope.
