Danone is international company present on all continents. The group holds top positions in healthy food through four businesses: Fresh Dairy Products, Early Life Nutrition, Waters and Medical Nutrition. Mr. Yves Rey, Senior Advisor to Danone Board of Directors, was invited to share with audiences how public-private partnerships (PPPs) can help industry in leveraging diverse expertise among government, academic, and industry researchers to address food and safety-related research challenges that will ultimately benefit the public health.
