ipa 2008: the unmissable event,which turns innovation into business! 4 days to exclusively discover the technological excellence of the food processing industry
IPA, the World Food Process Exhibition, will welcome nearly 600 French and international companies to Paris from 17 to 20 November 2008. Four days of intensive business dealings, to discover the latest technologies dedicated to food processing. For this next edition, IPA is leaving the floor to the experts and devising a programme of events based on forward-planning and innovation; essential ingredients to meet and satisfy the expectations of food processing industry professionals seeking new solutions.
Spotlight on the Food Processing Industry’s principal challenges
The Innovation & Research Forum, an exclusive platform for exchanges, will be an occasion to present the new technological advances in Process Engineering. It is a unique opportunity to highlight the food processing industries' main R&D activities at the European level. With over 1,000 audience members in 2006, the Forum has beaten attendance records and establishes itself each year as one of the trade show’s must-see events.
Through talks given by renowned partners, professional organisations and major R&D institutes, this latest edition, comprising some twenty conferences, will treat important subjects such as sustainable development, energy, refrigeration, bioprocessing, regulations, or latest equipment performance.
Technological innovation takes centre stage
Designed to promote technological excellence, the IPA Innovation Competition/SIEL Trophy rewards the most outstanding innovations selected from all the new developments presented at the show. A jury consisting of industry experts (journalists, representatives of institutions, major users) will award the Prizes to the winners on the first day of the trade show so visitors can discover the award-winning products during the exhibition.
The Food Safety – Traceability Area: a theme-based area focussing on the industry’s core challenges
Food safety is a subject that concerns everyone in the industry, and as such it will have its own dedicated area. Located in Hall 1 at the centre of the IPA MATIC zone, the Food Safety – Traceability Area will bring together companies offering identification solutions, management/production information systems (MIS/PIS), and specialised software. The setup of this dedicated space will also be an opportunity to organise meetings and debates during conferences, and to take stock of a subject that is regularly a hot topic.
The proof is in the eating: the Culinary Demonstration Area
Organised in conjunction with leading French gastronomy schools, the Culinary Demonstration Area will allow exhibitors and visitors to taste the excellence of French culinary art for themselves.
Professionalism and creativity will reign at this workshop where each day, young apprentices will prepare regional specialities on which to feast your eyes and taste buds.
Do not miss it!
