International Foodtech Kolkata

International Foodtech has established itself as a leading trade fair for food processing and hospitality in Eastern and Northeastern India. Known as "International Foodtech Kolkata" (IFK), the event stands for technological innovation and represents the intersection of tradition and progress within India’s dynamic food and hospitality sectors. Held annually at the modern Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan exhibition grounds in Kolkata, the fair benefits from a strategic location and excellent transport connectivity.

Organised by N.K. Kapur & Co. (P) Ltd., a seasoned Indian trade fair agency specialising in industry-specific exhibitions, IFK serves as an important driver of growth and innovation for the region’s food economy. The event is aimed at professionals from food production, hospitality, confectionery and bakery sectors, as well as the retail food trade – not only from India but also from neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar. This has made IFK a vital hub for both regional and international business development.

At the heart of the exhibition are forward-looking technologies for safe and efficient food processing, advanced packaging solutions, cutting-edge cold chain systems, and new developments in additives and flavouring agents. A strong emphasis is placed on the bakery and confectionery sectors, supported by expert seminars, panel discussions, and live demonstrations tailored for bakers and pastry professionals. The hospitality industry is also comprehensively covered – from professional kitchen equipment and catering solutions to culinary innovation.

Exhibitors showcase the latest in processing technologies, packaging machinery, ovens, confectionery production systems, food safety solutions, ingredient innovations, and specialised services. Participants range from established brands and start-ups to machinery manufacturers, suppliers, hoteliers, and food industry experts, all aligned with emerging market trends and developments.

Key highlights of the event include a dedicated conference for the confectionery and snack industries, seminars for bakery and patisserie professionals, and interactive forums on culinary topics. IFK positions itself not merely as a product showcase, but as a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and strategic business growth.

The venue, Biswa Bangla Mela Prangan, offers state-of-the-art infrastructure and easy accessibility – via Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, multiple rail connections, and a well-developed public transport network. In a city renowned for its culinary diversity, International Foodtech provides not only insight into the latest technologies but also an inspiring environment for all those shaping the future of the food industry.
