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.
