Food ingredients Europe is one of the world’s leading conferences and trade fairs for ingredients, technology, and innovation in the food industry. Each year, the event brings together thousands of decision-makers, developers, producers, and experts from across the globe — and this year, the conference will take place on 2–4 December 2025 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
This year, you can meet representatives from Food Upcycling, who will be participating to present the project’s work on building a more circular food sector and showcasing the potential of better utilising food side streams. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear presentations, ask questions, and experience the launch of new initiatives, including the Global Food Upcycling Map.
Our Dutch partner, Foodvalley, will present the project and demonstrate the Global Food Upcycling Map during the popular Silent Pitch Session, where all participants receive headphones for a focused and high-quality experience. The session will be followed by the Dutch Pavilion Networking Drinks, which traditionally attract a large crowd.
The panel discussion “Global impact through circularity: Valorising side streams and scaling upcycled ingredients across borders” brings together representatives from Foodvalley, the Danish Technological Institute, and a Swiss biotech start-up, Trilliome. The discussion explores how upcycling of food side streams can create global impact and new business opportunities.
Our Food Upcycling representatives look forward to meeting and engaging with the event participants:
Simon Hvid, Danish Technological Institute (DTI), partner in the Food Upcycling project:
“Food ingredients Europe is an important platform for highlighting how upcycling can develop both sustainability and business. We look forward to meeting companies ready to turn their side streams into new opportunities.”
Caroline Duivenvoorden, Foodvalley (NL), partner in the Food Upcycling project:
“With the Global Food Upcycling Map, we make it easier for companies to find the right partners and develop circular food solutions. Food ingredients Europe is the perfect place to invite even more organisations to join the movement.”
