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.

Future-Proof Formulation
The 2026 themes address processed-food ingredients and AI-driven development, directly relevant to current R&D decisions.

Benelux Product Development Network
For companies selling ingredients or technical services, the event offers concentrated access to regional formulation professionals.
