What makes it special
Each of the 10 Anuga trade shows focuses on a particular product group: fine food, drinks, chilled and fresh food, meat, frozen food, dairy, bread and bakery, hot beverages, organic and culinary concepts. In addition, several Anuga trend themes explore significant topics for the global F&B market. Fair trade, gourmet, private labels, vegan, kosher and halal products are among them.
What is new for Anuga 2021
One of the major focuses of Anuga 2021 will be personalisation and the content of the trade fair's congresses and special events will explore it from different perspectives. Such example is the summit Newtrition X, scheduled on 6 October, which will delve into personalised nutrition, the related market and challenges.
Another highlight of Anuga Cologne will be iFood 2021, the 5th innovation food conference. It will be held on 7 October with themes like the sustainability in the food sector as well as the digital trends in F&B production, consumption and distribution.
