From Liljestam to Larsson
It was time for hellos and goodbyes, when Mats Liljestam, Chief Marketing Officer at Nordic Sugar and the now former Chairman of the Øresund Food board, guided the audience smoothly through the general assembly of Øresund Food on March 11th .
New name and logo
One of the highlights of the assembly was the new name and logo “Øresund Food”. The new name and logo replace Øresund Food Network (ØFN) old logo. The name change to Øresund Food, is a consequence of the new branding of Øresund Science Region and Øresund University under one name: Øresund Org – read more about this here.
