Every two years, the event examines solutions for the industry’s future challenges as an innovation and business platform. Anuga HORIZON is a combination of an exhibition, a conference, and an experience that brings theory and practice together through new, interactive formats. The first edition will take place from September 6 to 8, 2022.
Focused on future solutions and new technological approaches
“The idea for the event was born two years ago when we placed the focus on future solutions and new technological approaches at Anuga 2019 in the form of the special event, “Anuga Horizon 2050”.
Changing consumer demands, increased digitalisation, the increased implementation of disruptive technologies require a paradigm change within the industry. This is exactly where Anuga HORIZON comes into play and as a practical enhancement to Anuga, it will portray the entire food ecosystem. The conference section, which enables a deep dive into specialised themes and in addition to the business aspect conveys the latest cognitions at the exhibition stands, offers additional benefit,” explained Gerald Böse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH.
Interdisciplinary platform for innovation for established companies and start ups
“Our concept closes a gap with its interdisciplinary approach. We intend to take on the role of being the innovation and business platform for both established companies and start-ups. Anuga HORIZON will address players, who shape the dynamic transformation of the food industry with disruptive approaches and creative solutions,” emphasised Oliver Frese, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse Gmbh.
“Last, but not least, in the form of the new event, we are creating a
practical enhancement to our existing, global portfolio comprising of leading trade fairs such as Anuga, ISM or Anuga FoodTec and are actively co-shaping the future of food with a new form of trade fair experience,” Böse added.
