Alimentaria Lisboa tackles its 10th edition, 19-22 April 2009, as a leader among Portuguese trade shows and from a prominent position among the top five key food and beverage shows in Europe. The event will be marked by a decided strategic repositioning for the show, as well as the utmost expression of innovation and business for the sector, making this an international gathering for the cross-border interests of the Portuguese agri-food industry.
The International Food Exhibition is held every two years in the Portuguese capital. Its tenth anniversary will be marked by the presence of more than 38,000 visitors, 1,000 exhibitors and a gross area of 42,000 m2.
Alimentaria Lisboa is noteworthy for its markedly business nature, capable of generating 175 million euros in business at the event and an economic impact of 15 million euros for Portugal.
In addition, Portugal’s particular geo-strategic location positions Alimentaria Lisboa as a bridge connecting the European market and Portuguese-speaking countries – Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde, which are also represented at the show.
Alimentaria Lisboa enjoys the active support of all the country’s food and beverage distribution channels and the involvement of the most representative institutions and associations. All recognise its professional and business qualities, its distinct innovativeness and its educational aspects, features which make visiting a profitable experience for professionals.
In sum, Alimentaria Lisboa is the must-attend event for agri-food manufacturing and distribution from countries with business interests in areas within the Portuguese sphere of influence. A major international event which benefits from the efficiency, strength and prestige of Alimentaria Exhibitions and Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL), the country’s leading trade show institution.
