Future-Proof product development at the core of a strong Intrafood edition
PRESS RELEASE - Kortrijk, 9 October 2026 – Intrafood once again confirmed its position as the leading Benelux platform for R&D professionals, product developers and innovation managers in the food industry. The fully booked exhibition floor brought together 110 specialised exhibitors over two days and welcomed 1,267 visitors. This once again underlines Intrafood’s relevance as a meeting place for professionals involved in ingredients and in the development of food products, beverages and dietary supplements.
Visitors from across the food and supplement industries discovered a specialised offering of ingredients and innovative solutions at Intrafood. The event once again demonstrated the strength of its unique concept: a clearly focused platform where substantive discussions, knowledge sharing and high-quality professional contacts take centre stage. Both exhibitors and visitors look back on a highly successful edition, characterised by strong engagement and extensive interaction throughout the exhibition floor.
The seminar programme also attracted exceptional interest. The two central themes addressed key challenges currently facing food companies:
- Processed Foods: Are Your Ingredients Future-Proof?
- AI-Driven Product Development: A Boost for Innovation and Profitability
The sessions were attended at full capacity and highlighted the growing demand for knowledge and practical insights relating to future-ready ingredients, product reformulation and the expanding role of artificial intelligence in innovation processes.
In addition to the strong content of the seminar programme, several innovation themes stood out on the exhibition floor. Exhibitors presented a broad range of solutions focused on health and functional nutrition, proteins and fibres, plant-based and hybrid applications, clean label and natural ingredients, taste and sensory experience, personalisation, and sustainability. These themes play a significant role in current food innovation and were prominently represented throughout the Intrafood offering.
With a fully booked exhibition floor, strong visitor attendance and a high-quality content programme, Intrafood further reinforces its position as the Benelux platform for ingredients, R&D and product development in food, beverages and dietary supplements. The industry is now looking ahead to the next edition, scheduled for 27 and 28 September 2028.
