exhibiting brands from 35 countries. Furthermore, 500 buyers from 84 countries were hosted, holding more than 5,200 business meetings. As usual, ample attention will be dedicated to the most important presentations of all the communities present. Specifically, the opening session will focus on the most up-to-date foodservice trends, both national and international. Sigep World confirms itself as the most authoritative voice in the industry thanks to the launch of Sigep Vision, the Global Observatory on gelato and foodservice trends. Regarding the individual industries, the Arenas and international competitions are confirmed, which last January saw 25 different countries participate. Particular attention will also be paid to new trends on a global scale, specifically, the latest technologies of automatic coffee machines, with a clear improvement also regarding sustainability. Other trends include leavened bakery products and new pastry trends, as well as the gelato shop of the future since this event in Rimini is the main force spreading the culture of Italian gelato all over the world. The 2025 edition of Sigep presents itself with a renewed look, starting with a new pay-off that has become: “Sigep World - The World Expo for Foodservice Excellence”. The word World underlines the global focus of the event, which was recently joined by two new satellite tradeshows in markets with great potential, that is, Southern China and the Singapore area. The event, organized by Italian Exhibition Group, will be held at the Rimini Exhibition Centre (Italy) from January 18 to 22, 2025. In addition to gelato, which remains the core of the event, the best selection of foodservice technologies and ingredients for the pastry, pizza, bakery, chocolate and coffee industries will also be protagonists at the show. Among the new developments, there will be a large space dedicated to pizza: Sigep World will thus become a real point of reference for this product and its technologies. The exhibition area will be further expanded with two new pavilions, hence reaching 140 thousand square metres of exhibition space. The event is therefore preparing to welcome an increasingly large community: in the last edition, visitors from 160 countries arrived, also thanks to the 1,200 More and more... world!
