More than a show, a real event!

Many animations have come this year in order to complete a unique offer giving the event an even greater dimension than in previous years. Much more than a show, the CFIA Rennes became the major event dedicated to the food industry chain … All conferences have got a full room during those three intense days . The animations organized by our partners in conjunction with the CFIA had a great success among all professionals of the food industry with “Les Acteurs du Numérique”, manufacturers have been able to test a variety of innovative solutions for the food industry service in order to anticipate the future in a better way. As for “L’Usine Agroalimentaire du Futur”, visitors have experienced the full immersion into a future factory through virtual reality, and the prowess of the 3D printer.

With the animation “Work in Agro”, linking students with industry professionals was favored not only by job offers posted throughout the duration of the show , but also by the exchange in a professional and friendly place, to create or consolidate contacts.

By “Les Coulisses des Produits” the CFIA showed, in partnership with the “Centre Culinaire Contemporain” and “Le Manager de l’Alimentaire”, a perfect example of the combination of innovation and production … a way to make both tribute to the expertise of exhibitors and industrial creativity. Finally, the Club PAI with the “Innovation Tour” has illustrated, through perfect examples of the PAI Ingredients, the latest trends in food consumption.
