ABOUT THE FAIR
The Cibus Tec in Parma is among the most significant and long-standing exhibitions in the field of food technology. Since its inception in May 1939, it has established itself as a staple on the calendar for international professionals. The fair is organized by Koeln Parma Exhibitions Srl, a joint venture between the renowned Koelnmesse GmbH and Fiere di Parma SpA. "Cibus" is the Latin word for "food" or "meal". When combined with "Tec", short for "technology", the name "Cibus Tec" translates to "Food Technology". The event's name, therefore, reflects its focus and specialization on technologies and solutions for the food industry.
Cibus Tec typically operates on a triennial cycle, attracting a wide, international professional audience. Attendees seek information on the latest technologies and solutions related to the harvesting, processing, and packaging of foods like vegetables, fruits, and dairy. But the exhibition offers more than just product showcases. Numerous conferences and summit meetings provide a platform for international experts to reflect upon and discuss current market situations, future trends, and challenges.
A distinctive feature of the exhibition is its location in the district of Parma, known for its high concentration of food and technology companies. This regional grounding in a technologically and economically important area lends the exhibition particular significance. The Fiere di Parma exhibition grounds not only offer ample space for such a vast showcase but also boast modern infrastructure that delights exhibitors and visitors alike. Every time the gates of Cibus Tec open, visitors are greeted by an impressive array of products and services from the food technology sector, always mirroring the industry's current trends and needs.
In conclusion, Cibus Tec in Parma isn't merely an exhibition; it's also a platform for innovation, knowledge transfer, and networking – a place where the future of food technology takes shape.
