Fi & Hi Europe ingredient show with over 1,200 exhibitors will take place in Paris from 6 to 8 December 2022 and online from 28 November to 8 December. Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the new show location, is a modern and easily accessible venue in the heart of the French capital.

With Covid, supply chain issues and climate change amongst the challenges facing the food industry, it has never been more important for companies to look to future-proof their businesses. The Fi & Hi Europe ingredient show, which is taking place again this year as a hybrid event, helps with this.

The trade fair will offer in-person and online access to more than 1,200 exhibitors showcasing a wide array of ingredients, solutions, services and concepts. It also unlocks the door to premium networking and learning opportunities focusing on innovation, sustainability, reformulation and important trends, such as plant-based solutions, health and wellness.

Fi & Hi Europe 2022 will offer many highlights. For example, the all-new Sustainability Hub, sponsored by Olam Food Ingredients, will focus on all aspects of eco-friendly food ingredients, processing and packaging, and will help companies achieve their sustainability goals. The onsite Innovation Hub will allow visitors a sneak peek into tomorrow’s food industry – as well as into the minds of consumers, with great sessions already confirmed by companies such as Mintel and Innova Market Insights. The brand-new Start-up Pavilion is a platform for industry newcomers, providing the opportunity to explore exciting new ideas and approaches in one dedicated location.

The show concept provides dedicated zones for new products, for healthy, natural, free-from and plant-based ingredients, for food technol-ogy and for new exhibitors, and offers country pavilions. Guided innovation tours will help buyers find exactly what they are looking for in the shortest time possible. The Women’s Networking Breakfast, sponsored by DSM, Lunch & Learn and other events are perfect for building a professional network.

The conference programme includes more than 55 expert sessions on-site and online, giving global audiences access to invaluable knowledge. The improved digital platform offers a new experience, with user-friendly functionalities that allow for easy, data-driven business matchmaking, exchange of contact information and seamless follow-ups.

The renowned Fi Europe Innovation Awards and the Fi Global Startup Innovation Challenge will shine a spotlight on the best new industry offerings. And after the award ceremony, there will be a celebratory party.
