Sep 30 – Oct 1, 2026
👥 Professional Food-Industry Audience
Kortrijk Xpo, Kortrijk, Belgium
🏢 Specialist Ingredient Suppliers
Who Should Attend
Food Product Developers & R&D
Intrafood is explicitly aimed at professionals developing or reformulating food, beverages and supplements, not general grocery buyers.
Nutrition & Supplement Developers
The strengthened nutraceutical focus makes the event relevant to fortified foods, supplements, sports nutrition and health-oriented formulation.
Ingredient Procurement Teams
Buyers can compare raw materials, additives, semi-finished products and functional ingredients from specialized suppliers.
Food Scientists & Technical Consultants
Laboratories, research centers, consultants and technical service providers participate alongside ingredient suppliers.
Top Reasons to Attend
1
R&D-Centered Audience
Unlike a broad food exhibition, Intrafood concentrates professionals working on what goes inside products and how formulations perform.
2
110 Specialized Suppliers
The deliberately focused supplier base makes technical conversations easier than at a massive general food fair.
3
Scientific Seminar Program
The program is curated with an academic and industry scientific committee, adding depth to ingredient sourcing.
4
Future-Proof Formulation
The 2026 themes address processed-food ingredients and AI-driven development, directly relevant to current R&D decisions.
5
Benelux Product Development Network
For companies selling ingredients or technical services, the event offers concentrated access to regional formulation professionals.
What You'll See & Do
🧪
Raw Materials & Functional Ingredients
Compare ingredients by functionality in the finished product, not only price, including texture, stability, nutrition, flavor and processing behavior.
🧪
Nutraceutical Ingredients
Developers of supplements and health-oriented foods should focus on nutrients, active ingredients, delivery formats and evidence supporting claims.
🧪
Sugar Reduction & Reformulation
The seminar program specifically addresses future sweetness and alternatives for reducing sugar in confectionery and other products.
🤖
AI-Driven Product Development
One 2026 seminar theme examines how AI can accelerate innovation and profitability in product development.
🤖
Laboratories & Technical Services
Use testing, consulting and research partners when a formulation challenge requires validation, shelf-life work or regulatory support.
🔎
Co-Manufacturing
Co-manufacturing is relevant for R&D teams that have a viable formulation but lack the line, certification or scale to produce it internally. Discuss process capability, minimum runs, allergen controls, confidentiality and technical transfer before choosing a partner.
