Review of the last edition<br />
Health ingredients Europe 2014 was the biggest and<br />
best to date, with attendees growing a staggering 20%<br />
from the previous edition, cementing its place as<br />
Europe’s leading health, natural and nutritional<br />
ingredients platform.<br />
From 2–4 December 2014, more than 450 leading<br />
exhibitors such as DSM, Naturex, Beneo, Gelita,<br />
DuPont Nutrition & Health, plus many more, were<br />
present on the show floor, showcasing their latest<br />
innovations in the world of health, natural and<br />
nutritional ingredients. More than 8000 attendees from<br />
93 different countries gathered in Amsterdam to source<br />
from the 4,651 ingredients at the show, to network with<br />
industry colleagues and to learn about new processes,<br />
technologies and industry trends.<br />
Today’s consumers have become more concerned than<br />
ever about what they are eating and are actively<br />
seeking healthy, natural and functional foods. This was<br />
clearly reflected at the show with the most sought after<br />
ingredients being proteins, plant extracts, functional<br />
foods, flavourings and nutraceuticals. Visitors to the<br />
show included professionals from companies such as<br />
Mars, Pepsico, Coca Cola, Unilever, Danone, Nestlé<br />
and Heinz, once again highlighting the importance of<br />
health ingredients to the industry. 76% of these visitors<br />
held their company’s purchasing power, with 36% being<br />
c-suite level executives.<br />
The Health ingredients Europe show floor was also<br />
buzzing with features and educational programmes. A<br />
total of 2,095 attendees attended the seminar sessions,<br />
industry insights theatres, innovation tours and<br />
conferences, with the most popular topics being weight<br />
management, trends, sugar reduction and protein<br />
alternatives. New to Hi Europe was Fi TV, which<br />
generated much talk around the halls, with live<br />
interviews from the show floor, and live social media<br />
broadcasting. Health ingredients Europe <strong>2016</strong> will<br />
return to Frankfurt, Germany, one of the leading<br />
European cities in the food and beverage industry. From<br />
29 November – 1 December <strong>2016</strong> it will bring together<br />
once again the largest congregation of health, natural<br />
and nutritional professionals together, under one roof. n<br />
