Fi & Hi Europe 2022
Let’s meet in Paris!
Leading ingredients trade show Fi & Hi Europe all set to welcome more than 20,000 visitors

Fi & Hi Europe returns to France this year. From December 6 to 8,
the leading ingredients fair will be held for the first time at the Paris
Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition centre. More than 1,200 exhibitors

startups – will present themselves in four halls. The face-to-face exhibition

show experience.
In the heart of Paris, Fi & Hi Europe is set to attract exhibitors and
attendees from more than 135 countries around the world. The new
