BIOFACH and VIVANESS 2023:
Organic System Paves the Path for Ecological Transformation
BIOFACH, World Leading Trade Fair for Organic Food, will open its doors in Nuremberg from 14 to 17 February 2023 alongside VIVANESS, International Trade Fair for Natural and Organic Personal Care. Following the one-off summer edition held at the end of July 2022, the organic food and natural and organic cosmetics sectors will revert to February again for their annual gathering. The new Tuesday to Friday schedule from 2022 will be retained. Having been integrated into the BIOFACH halls just for the summer edition, VIVANESS will now be returning to Hall 3C. "We are already looking forward to gathering the organic food and natural and organic cosmetics communities on site in Nuremberg again and offering them a framework for innovation and transformation, inspiration and networking! In 2023, our international trade visitors can look forward to the comprehensive product displays of around 2,700 exhibitors, 200 of them at VIVANESS," says Danila Brunner, Director BIOFACH and VIVANESS. "Especially in the current times, it is more important than ever to meet and exchange ideas and knowledge in person, and to look to the future to prepare the ground for the issues that will define it. In other words, to pave the path together!"
The VIVANESS Congress, with its comprehensive programme and wide range of sessions, also offers the opportunity for discussion, dialogue and knowledge transfer. In the various forums, the focus will be on topics that are important for the future.
As was the case during the one-off summer edition in 2022, all participants will have the opportunity to watch parts of the BIOFACH andn VIVANESS congresses as a live stream via the digital platform.
Future-oriented and trending issues are also reflected on the exhibition floors in a variety of ways, whether through the lively exchanges within the community or the products on display. The Meetingpoint "Specialist trade" in Hall 9, for example, will be dedicated to the issues currently affecting retailers. How can they holdn their ground in the struggle for supremacy between food retailers and discount stores? What solutions does the sector offer to the increasingly crucial factors of regional sourcing and supply chains? What unique selling points can show the way forward? The pioneers of change in the industry are addressing these and other questions.
In conjunction with the shift to more organic products in the supermarket, independent retailers will be able to meet experts in the procurement of complete ranges of organic food at the special show BIOimSEH, which is making its debut at BIOFACH 2023 in partnership with bioPress Verlag.
The future of the agri-food industry will also be discussed at the Initiatives & NGOs network hub, where industry stakeholders, including start-ups and established organic food companies, will come together to look to the future and network while discussing policy issues, ideas and research findings.
Anyone wishing to gain a foothold in the organic sector or with an interest in training or professional development will find the answers at the Generation Future network hub which is organized in partnership with Kugler & Rosenberger. In addition the BioThesis Research Award will also be presented in the framework of BIOFACH. Its aim is to inspire and support young people with an interest in the organic sector.
