After two events in Frankfurt in recent years, the FIE will be held in Paris from 2 to 4 December. The venue is the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition centre. One of the trade fair's mottos is ‘Taste the future of food ingredients’. Over 1,500 exhibiting companies will be presenting their latest products. In 2025, Fi Europe returns to Paris for its 30th edition a special milestone celebrating the incredible journey of an industry that has shaped the future of food.

The food ingredients area features thousands of innovative ingredients that form the building blocks of food production. The visitors can explore a diverse range of ingredients including plant-based solutions, clean label, natural ingredients, sweeteners, flavours, colours, proteins, emulsifiers and more, from global suppliers. This is a must-explore area for Food & Beverages manufacturers, ingredient distributors, culinary experts, retail and private label brands.

The natural ingredients area gathers naturally occurring, chemical-free components and products tied to clean labels, including plant, animal, mineral, and microbial ingredients, extracted simply & naturally. The organic area enables certified organic suppliers with a clear and distinguished proposition to showcase their certified ingredients to the food and beverage industry.

The health ingredients area is dedicated to showcasing a wide range of functional ingredients that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. From herbs and superfoods to cutting-edge nutraceuticals, this show area features natural extracts, functional foods, clean label innovations and scientific breakthroughs that bridge the gap between food and pharma. Whether visitors are looking for new suppliers of health ingredients or inspiration for their product development, this is the place to be.

The Food Technology & Solutions Zone presented at Fi Europe is the one-stop destination for F&B manufacturers and brands seeking practical and innovative solutions to secure their supply chain and future-proof their operations from R&D to delivery. This large area dedicated to food manufacturing beyond ingredients gathers industry leaders in Food Processing, Food Safety, Food Science, Environmental Technology, Automation, Industry 4.0, Agtech and Packaging solutions.

The Fi Europe 2025 Conference offers two days of cutting-edge insights for R&D, innovation, and strategy professionals in the food and beverage ingredient space. With expert talks, panels, and case studies, we explore the trends and technologies reshaping the industry.

Is there a better time to join the Food Ingredients Community in Paris? Certainly not. Hopefully, there will be no strikes and/or other disruptions affecting the trade fair this year. One idea based on experience is to travel together from the airport to the exhibition centre in the south of Paris.
