Valencia – The next Nutraceuticals Europe Summit & Expo takes place on 5th and 6th March 2025 and professionals, producers, distributors and customers in the functional ingredients, novel foods and finished products sector are already being invited to attend. With its new nomadic hat on, the organizers have opted to stage the fair at Ifema, in Madrid, in odd-numbered years, whilst it will return to the Barcelona International Convention Centre – BICC – in even-numbered years. Staging the fair in Barcelona enabled it to position itself as the leading event for the industry, both within Spain and in the international arena, and it will be returning there in 2026.
On this point the fair’s director, Esther Cano, underscores that “this change in location is a response to both our exhibitors’ and our visitors’ needs”. Cano and her technical team have begun preparations for this next edition and are aiming to further boost Nutraceuticals Europe Summit & Expo as the leading platform for presenting the latest advances in research in this field and launching them onto the market.
With that aim in mind, the fair will again be featuring its space dedicated to training, scientific innovation and analyzing trends, the ‘Seminar Theatre’. The Theatre is also a hub where high-level internationally recognised speakers will not just be talking about the latest market news but will also be addressing issues relating to innovation in nutraceutical ingredients, new areas of research and nutritional product development and trends in the health and wellness market.
As to the commercial exhibition itself, Nutraceuticals Europe Summit & Expo is seeking to surpass the results the last edition of the fair achieved, when it brought together 113 exhibitors, 13% more than in 2023. 40% of exhibitors were foreign companies, hailing from Argentina, Belgium, China, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal Singapore and Switzerland. This most recent fair also saw a significant increase in the number of professionals attending: 21.25% more than attended the previous edition. According to Cano, “we have some very ambitious targets, we are committed to exceeding them and to making Nutraceuticals Europe Summit & Expo an even more successful experience than in previous years”.
5th and 6th March 2025, Hall 1, Ifema, Madrid.
