Iran food + hospitality Tehran

“Iran food + hospitality” is an internationally oriented trade fair for food, beverages and hospitality that has grown into the largest industry platform of its kind in Iran since its inception. Held once a year at the Tehran International Exhibition Center, it attracts trade visitors from both Iran and abroad who are specifically seeking business opportunities in the Iranian market.

The event is organised by fairtrade Messe und Ausstellungs GmbH & Co. KG in cooperation with Iran’s Palar Samaneh Co., with the support of government institutions, particularly from the agricultural and economic sectors. This partnership gives the exhibition particular significance as a bridge between international exporters and Iranian importers, positioning it as a strategic gateway to a dynamic and growing market.

In terms of content, the fair covers a broad spectrum: from traditional food categories such as baked goods, dairy products, meat, fish and frozen foods, to beverages, confectionery, and organic and health foods, as well as specialised segments including hot drinks and ice cream. The offering is complemented by a comprehensive range of catering and hospitality equipment, including modern kitchen technology, coffee machines, refrigeration and cleaning systems, and digital solutions for billing and operations. Together, this creates a holistic snapshot of the industry, bringing together producers, service providers and technology suppliers alike.

A key strength of “Iran food + hospitality” lies in its concurrent staging with the trade fairs “Iran agro”, “Iran food ingredients” and “Iran food + bev tec”, generating strong synergies. Visitors benefit from a concise overview of innovations across the entire food production and processing value chain, while exhibitors can expand their reach in a targeted way. The event serves not only as a showcase platform, but also as a driver of trends, innovation and investment.

Exhibitors come from a wide range of sectors—from the food industry to mechanical engineering and packaging technology through to catering equipment—and meet a professional audience from trade, import and export, hospitality, foodservice, as well as institutional buyers and decision-makers.

Finally, “Iran food + hospitality” stands out not only for the depth of its content but also for its location: the modern exhibition grounds in northern Tehran are well connected in terms of infrastructure and easily accessible from both the international airport and the city centre, making participation efficient and attractive for international visitors.
