3 WELLNESS FOR HEALTH & PRODUCTIVITY WHO SHOULD ATTEND Biotechnologists, scientists, conventional health providers, academicians, decision makers, policy makers, complementary health providers, traditional practitioners, and people who are interested in wellness. Companies management teams who are interested in enhancing productivity of their staff through workplace wellness programs are also invited. BACKGROUND The wellness scenario is now apparent throughout the world and is associated with the importance of a balanced diet, recognition of the need for regular exercise, the introduction of workplace fitness programs, and the introduction of new and alternative approaches to the treatment of medical ailments. For organizations, wellness practices help achieve significant financial savings through reduced sick leaves and lower utilization of health care services. The wellness concept is centered on the idea that the mind, body, spirit, community and environment are inter-related and inter-dependant. Proactive self control of health and homeostasis emerges as a leading tendency in current wellness approach. The focus on disease prevention is realized as a leading strategy in this area. The global wellness market, currently dominated by USA, Canada, Japan and Europe, comprises of health-complementary products such as vitamins, dietary supplements and nutraceuticals. The market in Asia is led by Japan and China. Demand is fuelled by growing consumer awareness of diet-disease links, aging populations, advances in nutrition, growing purchasing power and rising healthcare costs. Wellness industries have accelerated to become the next trillion dollar industry. The application of biotechnology and wellness technology is expected to create added value to food products, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, healthcare sectors and industrial bioprocessing sectors. OBJECTIVES This conference serves to provide a platform for people associated with the wellness industry to disseminate knowledge and share ideas. The conference aims to bring academicians, scientists, traditional practitioners, conventional health providers, complementary health providers, decision makers and policy makers forward for sharing of views and experiences. Forthwith, the conference intends to gather and promote active participation from various related sectors. Effective collaboration and knowledge sharing in the field would be beneficial to the industry.
