SIAL

SIAL (or Salon International de l’Alimentation) is the highest-rated networking platform for food professionals. The global industry is waiting for SIAL 2020 Paris on 18 - 22 October. It will be staged at Paris-Nord Villepinte Parc d'Expositions, gathering over 7000 exhibiting companies and 160,000 trade visitors from around the world. Close to 80% of all exhibitors will present brand new products.

The benefits of the international food exhibition in Paris are experienced by large F&B corporations, medium-sized companies and start-ups alike. Government representatives, R&D teams, agri-food manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, retailers and chefs consider SIAL 2020 an essential part of their agenda. SIAL’s atmosphere and special events invite attendees to engage in conversations and share ideas.

With 21 exhibition sectors and food channels, SIAL Paris is unmatched in terms of product range. The strongest sectors include Beverages, Dairy products, Frozen foods, Meat, Savoury - and Sweet grocery. However, there is a lot more to the trade fair. Its networking possibilities, culinary demonstrations and constantly reinvented features (for example SIAL Innovation) are successful on their own merits.

The Future Lab area has the mission to forecast the sector's prospects. It approaches topics like alternative proteins and AI in food practices.
The recently introduced Alter’native Food sector at SIAL is dedicated to sustainable and eco-friendly products, "free-from" products as well as semi processed foods. Alter’native Food’s programme covers topics such as agriculture 2.0 and "clean label".
