IFFA Frankfurt
The World’s Leading Trade Fair – Technology for Meat and Alternative Proteins
IFFA covers the entire market for processing, packaging and selling of meat and alternative proteins. Thus offering the global food industry a platform for innovation and networking.
In 2022, araound 50,000 trade visitors from 129 countries came to see for themselves what the 860 exhibiting companies had to offer. The proportion of foreign trade visitors rose to 72 per cent compared with the event three years ago - more than ever before.
IFFA takes place every three years. The next IFFA will be held in Frankfurt from 3 to 8 May 2025. More information at vdma.org/iffa and www.iffa.com.
