AMSTERDAM | Messe Frankfurt will host the leading global event for food and beverage ingredients this November.
More than 1,500 exhibitors and a programme of expert presentations will showcase innovation, share insights and foster business relationships. Over 25,000 visitors from 135 countries are expected to attend, and exhibitors will include ABF Ingredients Group, Azelis, Brenntag Holding GmbH, Cargill, Fonterra and Prinova.
The main show arena will feature exhibitors from across the full F&B ingredients spectrum, including, for the first time, a Petfood Suppliers Hub where visitors can explore the latest ingredients and technologies for pet nutrition.
The health ingredients area has been dedicated to functional F&B ingredients with proven health benefits. At the same time, the Food Manufacturing Technologies & Solutions Area is a one-stop destination for those seeking practical and innovative ways to optimise their supply chain and future-proof their operations, from R&D to delivery.
Fi Europe has a strong track record of facilitating business partnerships that deliver successful products. The Exhibitor showcase will allow innovators to share their unique ideas.
All visitor passes also include free access to the Innovation Hub, which will run throughout the show, and free access to the two-day Fi Europe Conference.
During expert-led sessions, speakers will focus on solutions for current industry challenges and immediate opportunities for R&D and product development.
“We’re excited to be back in Frankfurt for Fi Europe 2024. The event has been growing and evolving with the needs of the F&B ingredients industry,” said Yannick Verry, Brand Director, Food Ingredients Europe & Americas.
“We’re constantly looking for new ways to offer a bigger and better platform for our exhibitors and visitors to connect. This year, we have some great additions alongside our tried and trusted favourites, making the event even more unmissable than before.”
Exclusive insights will also be shared at The Future of Nutrition Summit, a special event at the Mövenpick Hotel Frankfurt City on the 18th of November, the day before Fi Europe opens its doors.
Attendees can access the summit with a delegate pass and hear from industry leaders and visionaries who will give presentations and lead discussions on future trends and developments in health and nutrition.
Sustainability will be another important thread running throughout Fi Europe 2024.
“Our partnership with international civil society organisation Solidaridad is part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. Our Fi Europe features and content will highlight sustainable sourcing, transparency, regulatory compliance and more.”
With data-driven matchmaking and The Women’s Networking Breakfast this year, Fi Europe has unrivalled networking opportunities. The user-friendly Fi Europe event platform is available online to help attendees plan their days, book meetings, and optimise their time.
“We’ve designed it to make planning easier for everyone before the event, and we can’t wait for our F&B community to experience Fi Europe in person.”
Visitors and exhibitors can log into the event platform anytime. They can browse products and suppliers and use AI-driven matchmaking tools to connect with potential business partners.
Fi Europe will be held from the 19th to the 21st of November 2024.
