Inspiration begins here

Discover the events that are shaping the future of the food industry

Each fair has its own focus: some stand out in trading and sustainability, others in organic and functional foods, in gourmet and specialty products, or in design and food tech innovation. Although their audiences vary, they all reveal global trends that are then replicated locally.

Attending requires preparation, knowledge and asking the right questions to take advantage of every opportunity. With our rigorous methodology we uncover valuable information and opportunities that drive innovation in your company.

Why attend major food industry trade shows?

Going to trade shows is pure inspiration. You are in an innovation showroom with the most advanced concepts. You meet the founders first-hand: their vision, the brand’s purpose and the value proposition of the innovations, their situation in the market and the evolution of the category.  It is an express update that helps you draw conclusions and choose your next steps.

It is the networking place where we come back with an agenda of contacts to accelerate your innovation process and adapt to new trends with your products.
