Spot Trends & Innovate

Stay ahead of the curve. The Salon is a unique observatory for market innovations. By participating, you gain direct insight into consumer expectations—from the rise of 'Bean-to-Bar' to the demand for sustainable and plant-based options—allowing you to fine-tune your commercial strategy and test new products in real-time.

The B2B Village

Located at the heart of the event, the B2B Village is a dedicated zone designed exclusively for suppliers of equipment, raw materials, and packaging solutions.
