Attendees can source innovative plant-based products, gain inspiration, discover solutions for their business and network with other business owners. Exhibitors are travelling from around the world to demonstrate their range of products, with country-backed pavilions including Italy, France, Germany and Brazil.
A spokesperson for Plant Based World Expo, said: “To develop inspired, plant-based culinary creations, you need to know what products are on the market now — and what they taste like. Unlike other foodservice events, Plant Based World Expo puts the full range of food and beverage options in this booming category at your fingertips.
“Whether it’s flavourful new ingredients, insights that address your operational challenges, or face-to-face conversations with manufacturers, you’ll get everything you need to evolve your menu. Leading plant-based manufacturers and solutions providers will form a comprehensive exhibition, covering everything from end products to packaging, ingredients and logistics.”
In addition to over 175 companies exhibiting next-generation plant-based products and solutions, the event’s education programme is packed with sessions over three theatres, designed to boost knowledge of the latest industry trends.
Join plant-based experts and thought leaders in the Pulse Theatre, including SPINS, GFI and Plant Futures, as they share the latest data on where the industry has been and where it is headed.
Elsewhere on the show floor, the Culinary Theatre allows visitors the unique chance to sample the foods on display on the show floor cooked by professional chefs, as well as gain tips about how to incorporate the products into easy and delicious meals for all audiences.
Other features of the event include the Hosted Buyer Area - which will see more than 1,200 in-person meetings take place between UK and European buyers, distributors and wholesalers.
Buyers already signed up include Sysco, Fresh Direct, KeHe and Diverse Fine Foods. The first show day will culminate with a live ceremony for the brand-new awards programme - The Plant-Based Excellence Awards.
This comprehensive programme includes 17 categories spanning from sweet, savoury, meat-mimics, ready-meals and everything in-between. Entries are judged not only on their taste, but how they perform for businesses, helping buyers make informed choices about products they wish to include on their menus.
