The next edition of Alimentaria will take place from the 6th to 10th March in Barcelona, celebrating its 30th anniversary in this fair that is already in the second position in the international trade fair ranking of the sector. It has also sustained its growth on the concept of a global macro trade fair that marks the pulse of the industry and provides the maximum specialisation of the sector.
Alimentaria Exhibitions will occupy the total floor space of the Barcelona trade fair site, Montjuic and Gran Via: 110,000 m2 in total, an increment of 6% with respect to the last edition in 2004. With the participation of 70 countries, close to 5,000 leading companies in the production and distribution of food and beverages will display their offer in Barcelona, converting it into a world capital for the industry during a week.
The investment in a strong promotion campaign is responded by the record number of visitors in the last edition (142,000 nacionals and 32,000 internationals) and for the next edition, an expectation of 150,000 professionals, 40,000 international visitors. On the contrary to the large international fairs that it has disputes about its leadership, (Anuga in Germany and Sial in France) and having minimum growth or symptoms of stagnation, Alimentaria profits from the push of the Spanish food and beverage industry, eager and prepared for its entrance into the third party markets.
The trade fair will have 15 product areas like the previous edition. Since its beginning, Alimentaria has build itself in the macro trade fair by responding to all the needs of the sector, segmenting and specialising to the maximum, its offer in the exhibition to facilitate the visits and the business of the professional visitors.
In parallel, there will be working sessions and forums on trends and debates on different themes of the sector. In addition, Alimentaria will offer visitors various entertaining events, demonstrations or training that will be held in the different shows.
