“In 2023, the total export of Italian food and beverage reached Euro 64 billion, 5.7% more than in 2022. APAC markets represent a strategic area of growth for the Italian companies, and Singapore, thanks to its vibrant economy and an efficient logistics hub, is the springboard for the expansion of Italian food and beverage in the Region. IFBS represents the only food and beverage event for Italian companies in the APAC Region.” — Giacomo Marabiso, Managing Director, Italian Chamber of Commerce Singapore.

Through its exciting line-up of exhibitors, networking sessions, seminars and demonstrations, the sixth edition of Italian Food & Beverage Singapore seeks to serve as the key platform that exhibits the business connections between Italy with Singapore and beyond. An event for enterprises expanding to Asia Pacific, the exhibition aims to spread Italian goods, business relations, and culture, fostering the exchange of ideas and collaborations globally.
