Food Ingredient Europe Themes

The themes for Food Ingredients Europe 2024 will follow similar lines to 2023. Shorter innovation cycles and changed consumer behaviour have resulted in a golden era of innovation for the F&B industry. The food ingredients industry is evolving because of emerging trends such as clean label, plant-based, clean meat and sustainability. This is due to health-conscious consumers who desire better, sustainably sourced and healthier food options. Therefore, the 2023 Food Ingredients Europe exposition included the following themed zones:

  • Food Ingredients
  • Health Ingredients
  • Organic Ingredients
  • Natural Ingredients
  • Free From Ingredients
  • Plant-based Ingredients
  • New Exhibitors
  • Expo FoodTec

Specific ingredients also had their own specialised pavilions at Food Ingredients Europe 2023 – for example, GOED-Omega 3 , an international association representing 200 companies, will organise the Omega 3 pavilion and the International Probiotics Association will organise the Probiotics pavilion. In 2023 there was also a focus on sustainability – the organisers had three sustainability objectives: to inspire sustainable development, to run the event in an environmentally responsible manner and to ensure the event is socially responsible.

In 2024 the show has been simplified with three zones:

  • Food Ingredients
  • Health Ingredients
  • Technologies and solutions

These zones include the following pavilions:

  • Country Pavilions
  • New Exhibitors
  • Petfood Suppliers Hub
  • Startup Pavilion
