INSPIRED BY THE PAST TO SUSTAIN THE FUTURE  

Under the theme "Own the Change," SIAL 2024 aims to galvanize industry professionals to embrace ongoing transformations and tackle global food challenges. This collective movement will be fueled by showcasing exhibitors' CSR initiatives and highlighting expertise through initiatives like SIAL Insights, a biennial analysis of industry trends, SIAL Innovation, offering a glimpse into future developments, and SIAL Start-Up, which will feature twice as many promising start-ups in 2024, including early-stage concepts. 

NEW PLAN, NEW DYNAMICS 

Among the key highlights will be a new layout of the show as most of the visitors have expressed their wish to see the stands organized by product type in order to make their visit more efficient. The new floor plan will group exhibitors by theme.

Notably, China returns with vigor, showcasing more than 6,000 square meters of pavilions, while Ukraine and India demonstrate their growing influence on the global stage.
