1964 – 2014: SIAL Paris, the highlight of world agrifood, opens its doors this year for the 50th anniversary of universal interactions. Throughout the world, food professionals are creating and constructing our food future. This is where they meet, because for 50 years SIAL has been the unmissable trend-setter! Its long-lasting success, combined with undeniable international prestige, has made SIAL the absolute benchmark for France and well beyond our frontiers.
Each time we held the event, we were determined to make SIAL Paris much more than a trade show. It is a multicultural network, a focus of interaction and inspiration supporting enterprises in achieving their future success. With our 50 years of experience and a worldwide presence supported by the 10 trade shows we hold throughout the world, SIAL has become the true crossroads of world agrifood supply and demand. We build bridges, we inspire, we generate meetings and sharing between all the industry professionals.
Inspiration, networking and business are thus my watchwords for SIAL Paris
Inspiration, because through immersion in this intercultural melting pot and attending the talks and events, it is a unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends and world innovations.
Networking, because anyone who is anyone in the food world will be meeting at the show to exchange ideas and build the bases for an international network. It will also be an important occasion for meeting institutions and explaining to them that agrifood is a strategic resource, especially for France.
Business, because SIAL is, above all, an export platform offering producers and buyers the opportunity to develop the foundations for a partnership that matches their needs.
In this respect, the 2014 show will be an exceptional one because 6,500 companies from all over the world will be meeting to promote innovation, to become an engine for growth, and to do business. It awaits our 150,000 visitors to showcase 400,000 items displayed along the aisles. There will be plenty to satisfy their growing appetite for innovation.
For 50 years, this trade show has also been the place for making new friends where professionals from all branches of the food industry can get together, meeting each other in great surroundings and attending inspiring events.
This year’s key event is the one I would like to treat you to on Monday 20 October from 5.30 p.m. The festivities will be launched in the aisles and will culminate on the esplanade of the Parc des Expositions. There will be music, fireworks, son & lumiere shows and brilliant performances at the Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte. Prepare to enjoy an exceptional experience.
Happy Birthday SIAL!
