IFFI

IFFI is a business network for producers of food ingredients

Together we stretch perspectives and business boundaries to be purposeful in creating healthy, sustainable and affordable foods.

Program 2026: Route to Market

IFFI’s theme for 2026 program is ‘Route to Market’. IFFI-affiliated companies are continuously seeking for innovative technologies, products and processes to add value to the overall food industry. The value and corresponding business potential starts from a market perspective, but only than can this value being captured once the socalled route-to-market is defined. To identify and have access to different ‘routes-to-markets’ the food ingredients industry will need to navigate in 2026.
