Contribute to promoting the internationalisation, innovation and sustainability of the industry. With this goal in mind, the Spanish Federation for the Food and Drink Industries (FIAB) and the Alimentaria trade show have renewed their collaboration agreement for the next edition of the event, which will take place at Fira Barcelona’s Gran Via venue from 18 to 21 March 2024.

The upcoming edition of Alimentaria, which will take place from 18 to 21 March 2024 at Fira Barcelona's Gran Via venue, will promote the growth of its leading trade show, Intercarn, as well as that of Restaurama and Hostelco, a platform for the Horeca channel, with more to offer and more partnerships, in addition to new areas and activities. In doing so, it will confirm its place as the most wide-ranging and comprehensive event for the food and hospitality industries and their whole value chain.

The international Food, Drinks and Food Service trade show organised by Alimentaria Exhibitions, a Fira de Barcelona company, has launched its preparations for the next event, set to take place from 12 to 15 March 2024 at Gran Via venue in Barcelona. Together with the Hostelco exhibition, it will once again constitute the leading platform in the market for distribution and hospitality and do so at an event that’s expected to break records in terms of its international reach.

From April 4 to 7, 2022, Alimentaria's most exclusive space brought together a dozen elite gas-tronomic firms. Alimentaria Premium 2022 increased its exhibition space by nearly 50% com-pared to the previous edition to accommodate a greater offer of delicatessen products and cover new demand segments, such as the most sustainable ranges. The participating companies rec-orded a greater number of visits from quality international buyers compared to previous editions.

The major trade show platform for the food, drinks and hospitality equipment industry closes a celebration marked by optimism and business that has once again brought the entire sector together and has contributed to its reactivation at a key moment for its growth. Alimentaria&Hostelco has been characterized by a high degree of internationalization and by the presentation of innovations and new trends that point towards the development of more sustainable and healthy products.

The leading platform for the food industry, food service, catering and hospitality equipment will return to Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue from 4th to 7th April 2022. Nearly 3,000 companies are attending a much-anticipated edition of Alimentaria and Hostelco to present their best offerings and contribute to boosting business, internationalisation and the reactivation of strategic sectors for the Spanish economy.

With just over a month to go, Intercarn, Alimentaria's meat and meat products show, has already taken up all the commercial space available. The sector, which is confirmed as the main business and internationalisation platform for the Spanish meat industry, will bring together more than 200 exhibitors and will occupy more than 14,000 m² net, thus consolidating itself as the largest area of the entire event.

More than 30 renowned chefs will showcase the excellence of Spanish gastronomy at the next edition of Alimentaria & Hostelco, which will take place from 4th to 7th April at Fira de Barcelona's Gran Vía exhibition venue. Innovation, sustainability, proximity and creativity will be the focus of the programme of activities for an edition that exudes optimism and reactivation with a participation that is already close to full.

The benchmark show for the Spanish food and beverage industry and one of the leading exponents of the international trade fair scene returns to Fira de Barcelona's Gran Vía venue from 4 to 7 April 2022. With two months to go before it opens, large numbers of exhibitors and attendees have already signed up for the event and its final details are being prepared.
