Platform for world premieres
Curious to see which exhibitors will be presenting innovations? The official drinktec Innovation Guide will tell you who will be launching innovations in September before the trade fair.
With this guiding theme, drinktec 2025 will focus on the efficient use of resources: use of raw materials from biological sources; circular solutions in all process steps in the beverage and liquid food industry; reuse of residual materials; responsible use of water in the production process.
With this guiding theme, drinktec 2025 will shed light on the future of data utilisation throughout the industry. The central question behind it: How can added value be generated from all the data collected and what tools are available to the beverage and liquid food industry for this purpose?
This key topic relates to future product concepts in the beverage and liquid food industry: 46% of consumers identify physical and mental health as a top priority (Nielsen IQ). Changing consumer habits, health-promoting ingredients and new recipes require an adaptation of process technologies.
Why attend?
What drives the global beverage and liquid food industry? Exhibitors and visitors have been finding answers to this question at drinktec since 1951.
