Alimentaria 2012: International Food and Drink Exhibition - Barcelona, Spain

Alimentaria is one of the most important food and drink trade shows in the world. This fact is recognised by the major international operators in food and drink manufacturing, distribution and trade. This is a landmark event whose success is derived from highly specialised offerings, innovation and tireless commitment to the show´s international focus.

In March 2012 Alimentaria will once again become an international business centre for all professionals with ties to the food and drinks industry.

Alimentaria offers various tools which enable companies to get the most out of their presence at the event through activities which facilitate business contacts and bilateral cooperation, distribution and innovation conferences between exhibitors and international buyers. The International Projects seek to make agribusiness more competitive abroad, encompassing virtually every continent: Latin America, Asia, U.S.A. and Canada, Central and Eastern Europe and Western Europe and the Middle East.

This allows the show to act as a promotional platform for participating companies and a major centre for international business.

Hosted Buyers Program: The objective of the Hosted Buyers program is to assure both exhibitors and visitors an effective investment of time and resources, in response to the current economic situation. The program provides to international top level decision makers an invitation with special conditions in order to offer them the opportunity to obtain a visit that will be a profitable investment in terms of time, money and results.

Brokerage Event: The program aims at helping European companies and technological centres to find partners for commercial agreements, technology transfer or collaborative projects. It is organised by ACC1Ó, official development agency of the Catalan Government, with the support of Entreprise Europe Network, European information and consultancy network.

The Consumer Goods Forum: Alimentaria in its strategy of cooperation with international leading companies that develop important programs in the agrofood sector, maintains a good relationship with CGF* (The Consumer Goods Forum)  by sharing synergies and collaborating in events that benefit the sector and enables the creation of an international business platform in Alimentaria, in order to offer more and better business opportunities.

Food&Drink Business Meetings: distribution meetings between Spanish companies and foreign buyers, organized by FIAB (Spanish acronym for Food and Drinks’s Industry Federation of Spain) with the sponsor of ICEX (Spanish acronym for Foreign Trade Spanish Institute) and MARM (Ministry of Agriculture).
