he tastemakers of the world will come together when Fi Europe returns to Frankfurt during 28–30 November. Food and beverage professionals are invited to step inside a microcosm of the ingredients world at this year’s Fi Europe. With 135 countries represented, more than 25,000 visitors and 1,200 exhibitors are expected to come together under one roof, resulting in a rich, immersive opportunity to experience the energy of invention and profitable connection. This year’s event blends real-world and digital interactions through the Fi Europe Event Platform, which will be open online pre and post-show. This extends the possibilities for exhibitors and visitors to discover new business opportunities, connect with the right people and be inspired by the latest industry trends and innovations. It also allows attendees to maximise their time in Frankfurt and prepare for the on-site event by planning a personalised agenda, bookmarking sessions they want to attend and reaching out to suppliers to set up meetings. Fi Europe’s winning formula combines a bustling show floor with an insightful conference line-up. In the exhibition hall, attendees can access an unrivalled breadth of products spanning the entire food and beverage supply chain. The global exhibitor base includes many high-profile names such as Cargill, ABF Ingredients, Prinova, Brenntag and Lesaffre. The Fi Europe Conference (28–29 November) and Future of Nutrition Summit (27 November) will provide exclusive, paid-for content that cannot be accessed elsewhere. It is focused on addressing current challenges and identifying immediate opportunities in the F&B industry. Its stellar speaker line-up includes Kalina Doykova, senior research analyst at Euromonitor International, and Cyrille Filott, global strategist at Rabobank. The Future of Nutrition Summit offers a deep dive into disruptive technologies and solutions that have the potential to reshape the industry. Delegates will hear from presenters such as Floor Buitelaar, managing partner, Bright Green Partners; Mario Ubiali, founder and CEO, Thimus; and Christine Gould, founder and CEO, Thought For Food. Free-to- attend content will be offered at the Innovation Hub and Sustainability Hub.
T Key issues on the agenda
The growing importance of sustainability as an industry challenge will be reflected in the event, highlighting issues such as sustainable sourcing, labels and transparency, regulatory compliance, ESG, gender equity and more. As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Informa has recently partnered with the international civil society organisation Solidaridad. Through the Sustainability Hub, visitors can find out how Solidaridad’s work in creating sustainable supply chains globally can help with ethical and sustainable ingredient sourcing. In addition to the numerous informal and impromptu interactions that an industry gathering on this scale provides, there will be several organised networking opportunities. Data-driven matchmaking offers a scientific approach to making connections, and female professionals can look forward to inspiring others and being inspired at the popular Women’s Networking Breakfast.
As well as encouraging diversity in all forms, Fi Europe champions innovation and excellence through its award programmes. The Fi Innovation Awards celebrate individuals and businesses breaking new ground and making a difference in the industry. They culminate in an evening awards ceremony held on Tuesday 28 November. The Startup Innovation Challenge offers a springboard for young companies with disruptive potential. Attendees can watch start- ups pitch their concepts to a panel of investors, accelerators and influential industry players at the Innovation Hub on 28 November. ●
