Food Ingredients Exhibition in Europe
For anyone tracking the industry, Fi Europe 2026, the Food Ingredients Exhibition, is one to watch — it unfolds in Frankfurt, Germany from 17 November 2026 to 19 November 2026. Bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and industry decision-makers, it has become an important meeting point for the sector. Because it comes around every year, each edition arrives with genuine anticipation. Each edition gathers approximately 27000 attendees, making it a major meeting point for the industry. Delivery is in the hands of Informa Markets, a name the sector associates with well-run events. Doors open at Messe Frankfurt, a space designed to keep large gatherings flowing smoothly.
When the host city is Frankfurt, half the appeal is already in place — a well-connected, welcoming base with plenty to offer once the day is done. Reaching Frankfurt is straightforward, with strong international connections and local transport that make getting to the venue easy. Lodging is easy to sort in Frankfurt, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour. When the badge comes off, Frankfurt keeps giving — good food, local colour and sights worth the detour. Use the trip as a springboard: Frankfurt sits within easy reach of much of what Germany has to offer.
This edition puts the spotlight on Foods, Food Industry, Food Ingredients and Food & Beverage, with exhibitors presenting their latest collections, products and innovations across these areas. For buyers and sellers alike, it is a chance to do in a few days what would otherwise take months of separate meetings. With 1650+ exhibitors in attendance, the hardest part is deciding which stands to visit first.
It is as much about the deals made on the floor as the products on display. Fi Europe 2026 remains a key fixture for importers, exporters and trade buyers, and an edition worth planning for.
Give yourself a realistic plan for each day — the schedule is full, and trying to see everything is a fast route to seeing very little.
