Fi Europe 2026 will return to Frankfurt this November, reaffirming its position as the leading international meeting point for the global food ingredients industry. While the event traditionally focuses on the broader F&B sector, pet nutrition continues to gain prominence, driven by sustained market growth and increasing demand for advanced solutions in formulation, processing and sustainability.
At the heart of this focus is the Pet Food & Nutrition Hub, a dedicated space offering direct access to ingredients, technologies, insights and solutions shaping the future of pet nutrition. With 23% year-on-year growth in its pet food audience and 35% of the event’s 1,650+ exhibitors active in the category, the Hub has become a strategic destination for manufacturers, suppliers and professionals seeking to accelerate product development and expand their industry networks.
New for 2026, Fi Europe will introduce the Pet Food & Nutrition Forum, a three-day programme featuring expert-led content, interactive showcases and networking opportunities centred on the trends transforming the pet food industry. The Forum will address key topics including market trends and consumer behaviour, regulatory updates, formulation strategies, sustainability and supply chain resilience, alongside panel discussions, fireside chats, interviews and hands-on innovation experiences.
The event will also highlight business opportunities for both exhibitors and visitors. Exhibiting companies will be able to connect with high-value buyers — including leaders in R&D, procurement and product development — and present solutions in ingredients, processing technologies, packaging, palatability, premixes and formulation. For visitors, the Hub will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in ingredients, processes and nutrition, tailored to professionals working in quality, innovation and product development.
Fi Europe 2026 will bring together key sectors such as ingredients and additives, premixes, pet food processing, private label, co-packing, packaging, research and startups, reinforcing its role as a reference platform for a category experiencing rapid expansion.
With a combination of expert insights, commercial opportunities and a holistic view of the market, Fi Europe 2026 stands out as the essential destination for professionals looking to lead innovation in pet food and pet nutrition.
