Ⅰ. Overview of Anuga 2023

Anuga is the world's largest food and beverage industry trade fair, which is held every two years and has a history of 100 years. Anuga 2023 covers an area of around 284,000 m2 in 10 theme exhibition halls and a comprehensive hall.

This year, Anuga is expected to attract a large number of professional visitors and buyers from more than 200 countries/regions around the world.


Anuga is known as the trend barometer of the global food industry and has the reputation of "global knowledge leader" in the field of food science. It is common for professors and students of food majors from universities in Europe, food R&D personnel and food company leaders to visit Anuga. Due to the impact of the epidemic, Chinese enterprises were absent from Anuga 2021. After four years, Chinese enterprises returned and show a strong willingness to participate, and it is reported that the Chinese exhibitors are close to 8% of the total number of exhibitors.

Ⅱ. Activity arrangement
