The event is being held at the newly renovated International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour. Boasting exhibition halls with the latest technology and facilities, foodpro will occupy three floors of the building, two of which are dedicated entirely to exhibition space.

Australia and New Zealand have global reputations for high safety and quality standards, exporting to overseas consumers who regard their products as the very best. However, in order for food manufacturers to stay up to date with local and overseas demand, they must be compliant and competitive, adapting to new technology and staying ahead of developments within the industry. It’s important for all facets of the food processing and manufacturing industry to stay current on innovation. Learning from experts and industry veterans is a key way for businesses to stay ahead, and it is industry events like foodpro that bring together these experts, along with the technology that provides solutions. Recent events including the Brazilian meat scandal and China’s changing stance on the number of Australian exporters allowed into the market are creating great opportunities for providers in Australia and New Zealand. Of course, with each opportunity, the issue of hygiene and traceability only continues to grow – consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about their food, putting pressure on retailers, who in turn are relying on stringent, efficient and transparent processes from suppliers. Learning how to capitalise on these opportunities, as well as the best strategies and best equipment solutions, will be a focus at foodpro. A programme of educational seminars, to be announced closer to the event, and an incredible range of exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technology and innovations, will provide visitors with viable solutions and expertise. Innovation in ingredients will be a highlight at foodpro, especially as the technology, testing and equipment standards have become much more sophisticated over recent years. There will be a number of new ingredients debuting at foodpro, such as Sphere Foods’ SJV Concentrates range - a food colouring produced from specially grown grapes and other vegetables. It comes in a crystal form, has a fiveyear shelf life and has been presented as a solution for colouring allergies. Gelita’s brand new study on BODYBALANCE, their newest collagen peptide, is said to have multifactorial impacts on various metabolic processes and function of a muscle, aiding as a supplement in increasing lean body mass and muscle strength, while decreasing fat mass. Gelita are calling this collagen protein the next superfood. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Medicines & Health Products works under the Ministry of Commerce of China (MOFCOM), and is the leading and most influential national trade association in China.
