From 12 to 14 December 2023, Food Africa and pacprocess MEA will again become the stage for the newest technologies and concepts. The highly acclaimed professional trade fairs will present trends and innovations of the food, beverages, processing and packaging industry with a focus on the African continent and the MEA member states. More than 800 exhibitors from 32 countries in four halls are expected from 12 to 14 December at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC), a new record. Both events underscore the efforts undertaken by Egypt and Africa as a whole for economic growth and technological progress, as well as the importance of international trade and industry for the region.
Food Africa, the number one trade fair for the African food market, and pacprocess MEA, which focusses on the processing and packaging industry, are hosted by IFP Egypt, Konzept Exhibitions & Events and Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. Under the umbrella of the interpack alliance, both trade fairs offer a unique platform. This year’s partner country of Food Africa is Kuwait, which will be present with a shared booth.
The event is characterized by a multi-faceted program concentrating on topics of the future and sustainable developments. Part of the trade fairs’ repertoire are lectures, live cooking & barista shows as well as a hosted buyers’ program which allows participants to directly contact suppliers and establish new business relations. More than 500 purchasers have already signed up for B2B matchmaking.
pacprocess MEA this year is placing a special focus on sustainability and the fight against food loss and waste. As part of the conference program, visitors can expect not only inspiring award ceremonies, but also panel discussions focusing on these central issues. One highlight is the premiere of the “Sustainability Design Award”, which honors products that are especially sustainable.
