Explore the full breadth of the ingredients industry

Fi Europe spans the entire food and beverage ingredients supply chain, bringing together ingredient manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, buyers, R&D specialists, product developers and production professionals under one roof.

Across four dedicated show areas – Food Ingredients, Health Ingredients, Pet Food and Nutrition Hub, and Tech – Services and Equipment – visitors can explore everything from functional ingredients and additives to processing technologies and solutions for product development and manufacturing. The 2026 exhibitor line-up includes many of the industry's leading names, including Arla Food Ingredients, Cargill, FrieslandCampina Ingredients, Glanbia and Prinova, alongside hundreds of specialist suppliers showcasing new ingredients, technologies, applications and services.

Get closer to the latest innovation

Innovation is at the heart of Fi Europe, with multiple ways for visitors to discover the latest products, technologies and ideas across the show. The 'New Product Zone' will showcase the latest product launches, complemented by trend insights from Innova Market Insights, helping visitors understand not only what is new, but the consumer and market trends behind it.

At the 'Tasting Bar,' visitors can sample new products and ingredients from leading suppliers, while 'Innovation Tours' will offer expert-led routes through standout suppliers and products, hosted by NutriMarketing, Foodvalley and the Upcycled Food Association. Places on the tours are available on a first come, first served basis.

The 'Exhibitor Showcase Theatre' will give exhibitors a platform to unveil their newest products, technologies and research directly to the industry, while the 'Start-up Challenge' will put the spotlight on tomorrow's industry leaders as they pitch ideas with the potential to reshape how food is produced, sourced and consumed. Together, these experiences give visitors multiple ways to move beyond simply seeing what's new and get closer to the innovations that could influence their next product or business decision.

Stay ahead with expert insights

The opportunities to learn continue across the Fi Europe content programme, with more than 30 hours of expert-led sessions exploring the trends, technologies and market forces influencing the food and beverage industry.
