WorldFood Istanbul

WorldFood Istanbul is much more than a traditional food trade fair. It is regarded as a central, annual platform for the international food industry, dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and global exchange. The name "WorldFood" underscores the event's global scope: In Istanbul, producers, decision-makers, retailers, marketing experts, and technology providers from every continent come together to explore current developments, innovative products, and the latest technologies in food and beverages. The event is held at the renowned Tüyap Fair Convention & Congress Center, which offers an ideal setting for the trade fair thanks to its modern infrastructure and convenient location. The event is organized by ICA Events.

Over the course of four days, WorldFood Istanbul addresses key industry topics. The opening day focuses on market potential, export opportunities, economic forecasts, and trends. The second day highlights climate protection, sustainability, and innovative production methods. This is followed by new quality standards, clean label concepts, and functional foods that promote healthy nutrition. The final day covers artificial intelligence, experience design, and the digital transformation of the sector. A special feature is the "Food Tech Garage", which brings together start-ups and established companies to jointly develop solutions for greater efficiency, sustainability, and climate protection.

The trade fair not only presents foods from a wide range of segments—from raw materials to finished products for retail—but also showcases advanced technologies, packaging solutions, and services along the entire value chain. Exhibitors represent all areas of the food industry, including producers, suppliers, machine manufacturers, and distributors. The professional audience primarily consists of decision-makers, buyers, manufacturers, retailers, and marketing professionals.

As a bridge between Europe and Asia, Istanbul offers ideal conditions for WorldFood Istanbul. The fair reinforces the city’s role as a global hub for the food trade and opens doors to the dynamic Turkish market as well as new international sales opportunities.

The Tüyap Fair Center is easily accessible by public transportation and car, offers ample parking, and impresses with its modern facilities. Each year, WorldFood Istanbul becomes the central meeting point for everyone who wants to actively shape the future of the food industry.

The WorldFood will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 15. December to Friday, 18. December 2026 in Istanbul.
