The exhibition will host over 50 exhibitors, including FMCG brands, restaurants, tech providers, startups, and distribution solutions, creating opportunities for producers, retailers, and service providers to network and collaborate. Attendees can also look forward to curated tasting sessions highlighting a diverse range of products—from gourmet offerings to mass-market staples—and witness launches of innovative food products and retail concepts.
Key discussion topics will include rethinking grocery retail for modern consumers, sustainable practices in supply chains, AI and predictive analytics in food retail, and innovations in foodservice and dining experiences.
The event is expected to attract professionals from supermarket and hypermarket chains, FMCG companies, distributors, restaurants, and foodservice providers.
Food XP 2025 will also be supported by several industry partners, including Tea Culture of the World as the premium tea partner, Kaapi Solutions as an associate partner, and Kaapi Machines as the coffee innovation partner.
