The big event that causes traffic jams to Shanghai has taken place again at the New International Expo Centre near Longyang Road Metro Station, Pudong district on June 20—the FiAC 2017 that covers the whole industry chain and gathers quality suppliers of food ingredients is grandly held there.

New high

The FiAC 2017 reaches a new high scale, with the exhibition area reaching 25,000m², growing by 12% compared to last year, which builds a whole-industry-chain one-stop commerce and trade event that integrates food raw materials and ingredients, starch and starch derivates, APIs, food machinery equipment, and dietary supplements.

Unprecedented popularity

The unprecedented popularity on the site, the activities that make visitors stay and linger, and the enthusiasm of exhibitors and visitors for negotiation have pushed the exhibition to an all-time high. 2017 exhibition undoubtedly provides more huge opportunities for the buyers and suppliers on the site.

Let’s review the memorable and wonderful moments of those activities

Internet + Sourcing Event gathering professional buyers from the world

The 4^th SJGLE Buyers Sourcing Event is a special event co-created by SJGLE.COM (www.sjgle.com) and the FiAC 2017, and effectively draws buyers closer to sellers through one-to-one and face-to-face meetings and drives both parties to establish cooperation.

SJGLE’s professional team recommends quality suppliers based on the buying leads of buyers, and sets up independent meeting rooms offline, to help enterprises achieve precise matching, increase sourcing efficiency and save sourcing time. There are 56 buyers who have registered for this Sourcing Event, separately from the U.S., Malaysia, Pakistan, Russian, and Poland, etc., to purchase over 1,564 different products.

Industry thematic forums

Besides the Buyers Sourcing Event as the “big meal” of this magnificent feast, a series of meetings and activities has been launched by centering on hot topics such as the internet marketing, food processing and packaging technology, natural functional food additives, dietary supplements, starch, policies and regulations, and food safety of the food industry, making visitors busy but also enjoy themselves on the site.

Plant extract meeting

FiAC teams up with Herbridge, a professional media for natural ingredients, again to build the “Plant Extracts and Solid Beverage” thematic meeting, which interprets the development trends of plant extracts in solid beverage and policy orientation in simple language and gives advice and suggestions for promoting enterprises to further transform and upgrade and walk out a new road for innovative development.

Starting the Discovery Tour and tasting the “Ice” Summer

based on the industry hotspots and exhibition advantages, the host combines the Discovery Tour with the newly planned “Ice” Summer activity, to have you taste the free ice cream and popsicle while visiting, to increase the activity interestingness.

The organizing committee has picked four product themes, and seleced 73 Chinese and overseas quality exhibitors from FiAC, HNC, and NEX, which distribute in Halls E3-E10. Visitors can flexibly arrange their visiting time to seek the desired ingredients, products, and solutions.
