Trentino at Biofach 2024: how did it go?
February 2024

Biofach, the most important international trade fair dedicated to the organic sector, took place in Nuremberg from 13 to 16 February. An essential event for those dealing with organic products, which this year attracted 35 thousand visitors from 128 countries and hosted 2,550 exhibitors from all over the world.

In Germany this year, for the sixth consecutive edition, there was also a representation of Trentino companies, united under the territorial stand organised by Trentino Sviluppo. Innovation, sustainability and a modern approach to the creation of new products were the keywords of a special edition also in its format, in which a new way of participating was experimented. Companies were in fact allowed to take part in the fair in two different ways: in presence, with a personal space within the territorial stand, or by promoting their products in a common exhibitor. A winning choice, which allowed a total of 14 companies to make themselves known and promote their products under the 'Trentino' brand.

Presentations and tastings: the winning recipe

Central moments of the four days of Biofach were the special events organised within the stand, with presentations, talks and tastings by the companies to an international audience, from countries such as Brazil, India, Kazakhstan, Belgium, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Poland, to name but a few.

During the events - there were 10, spread over the four days of the fair - Trentino Sviluppo also had the valuable opportunity to present to sector experts and curious visitors the entire organic cluster, which includes more than 1,300 companies located throughout the province, with an increase of 140% in the last 10 years.

«To further enrich an edition that was already particularly experimental on its own, we decided to also organise an exploratory tour of the fair dedicated to organic companies from Trentino interested in exploring the opportunities of this market. Five companies decided to participate in this initiative, which was also joined by some representatives of the Autonomous Province of Trento and Trentino Marketing. In Nuremberg, the 'Trentino System' therefore presented itself as a unified whole, with the intention of strengthening that synergy and collaboration between entities, realities and institutions that has always characterised the territory».
