Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) 2026

Fi Europe is the food and beverage ingredients trade show held at Messe Frankfurt from 17 to 19 November 2026. The organiser expects attendees from across the industry and exhibiting companies, with 135+ countries represented.

What sets the programme apart is how much happens off the stand. More than 30 hours of content cover trends, innovation and market insight, including sessions on sustainability, AI, consumer behaviour and regulation. The Fi Europe Innovation Awards on 17 November recognise standout ingredients, technologies and sustainability achievements, a tasting area lets visitors sample new products from suppliers, and a networking session on 18 November focuses on women's leadership and career growth.

For formulators, buyers and R&D teams, the value is seeing ingredient suppliers side by side over three days and meeting them in person. Entry opens at 10am, with early-access passes from 9am.
