THAIFEX – RE-IMAGINE THE FUTURE OF FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
A fantastic line-up of Food & Beverage (F&B) innovative highlights and industry experts talks. The theme for 2023 is ‘Reimagine the Future of Food and Beverage Industry’ and will feature 11 distinctive segments under one roof, encompassing 11 trends and six special shows, with a focus on innovative blueprints of the future. Visitors can look forward to a line-up of live cook-offs, business networking activities and live talks, all offering potential opportunities within Asian markets.
This year is particularly exciting as it’s anticipating around 2,700 exhibitors from over 40 countries and 60,000 trade visitors – that’s close to pre-pandemic levels. Bangkok is an ideal location for the F&B industry to come together in Southeast Asia.
They are multiple events at THAIFEX – Anuga Asia. Firstly, the Future Food Market which will showcase emerging breakthroughs in alternative products and bring together exciting elements such as future food trends, new nutrition and tech-enhanced processes. Food and drink professionals will also have a chance to experience the supermarket of the future.
We’re also launching a new HORECA experience for the food service sector where we’ll be offering inspiration and progressive business solutions for restaurant owners and anyone looking to set up a food service business. The platform merges innovations, functionalities and sustainability and industry players can speak to exhibitors to help identify solutions to grow their businesses.
Also, back by popular demand for the ninth year, is Thailand Ultimate Chef Challenge which will focus on Asian culinary skills and cuisines. New for this year is a Plant-based cooking competition category where chefs will work with novel ingredients to create flavourful plant-based Asian dishes. This year we’re expecting to have over 700 professional and aspiring chefs from around the world, competing for four awards across 19 categories.
And finally, we work very closely with our knowledge panel, Innova Market Insights, to predict F&B trends to present at the Future Food Experience stage. As well as showcasing products there will be live demonstrations and workshops where stakeholders can experience topical trends and emerging categories, including megatrends in F&B, future protein, plant-based and new processing technologies.
