Food Ingredients Europe 2026
17-19 November 2026, Messe Frankfurt, Germany
Food Ingredients Europe (Fi Europe) returns to Messe Frankfurt this November. More than 1,650 suppliers of ingredients, technologies, and finished products from across the food and beverage chain will be there. It is one of the best places to see where plant-based and alternative proteins sit in the wider ingredients market, and which innovations are moving from concept to supply contract. ProVeg is proud to be an Association Partner of Fi Europe 2026. We’ll be in Frankfurt across all three days, so come and meet us.
Join our community session: Living longer, the plant-based way
On the opening day, ProVeg is hosting a community session with a talk, a Q&A and a networking drink.
Session: Tuesday 17 November, 16:20-17:05 CET
Networking drink: 17:10-18:00 CET
Community Hub, Hall 4.2 D2
Living longer, the plant-based way: the next big opportunity for food innovation
Speaker: Albrecht Wolfmeyer, ProVeg International
Longevity is one of the fastest-growing consumer trends, but it often centers on costly supplements with limited evidence in humans. The Planetary Health Diet, meanwhile, provides strong evidence that a predominantly plant-based diet benefits both people and the planet.
This session brings the two together. Albrecht will explore what the science says about plant-based foods and healthy aging, from fiber to bioactive ingredients. He’ll also look at how plant-based innovation can turn this evidence into accessible, affordable products, and what ingredient suppliers and manufacturers need to get right on nutrition, claims and taste.
After the talk, stay for our joint networking reception with Fi Europe. It’s a chance to meet the ProVeg team and talk about how we work with manufacturers, retailers and startups, and to explore partnership opportunities in person.
