I am really hopeful 2022 will be our most exciting and diverse year to date. We are leaving a challenging time for our industry behind and in moving forward we have a unique opportunity to \u2018grind\u2019 down some of the limitations in the accessibility of plant-based milk for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last few months, I have been fortunate to be able to reconnect with lots of people across the industry who I haven\u2019t physically seen for a long time, as well as meeting lots of new people, all of whom bring a fresh perspective to our mutual goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Coffee Festival was the perfect opportunity to introduce a whole new wave of consumers to Oatly and its many benefits – very reminiscent of the buzz at the London Coffee Festival back in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope there will be many people across the industry meeting up with old friends through events that are finally able to happen again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
