Vitafoods Europe brings together in Barcelona the key players in nutrition and health innovation

The upcoming edition of Vitafoods Europe, to be held from 5 to 7 May at the Gran Via venue of Fira de Barcelona, will bring together more than 1,600 exhibiting companies from 135 countries. With attendance expected to surpass last year’s 25,500 visitors, the event will also feature over 100 experts addressing the key challenges and trends shaping the nutraceutical sector.

This year’s programme will include a range of focused sessions dedicated to two key areas: the impact of GLP-1 treatments on weight management and the growth of nutricosmetics. As a new feature, the event will also host the Startup Challenge competition, showcasing a series of emerging projects.

In parallel, networking activities will be further strengthened with initiatives such as the Future of Nutrition Lunch & Learn, focused on biohacking and longevity and the Women’s Networking Breakfast, aimed at promoting female leadership within the sector.
