Organized by the Comexposium group, SIAL Paris is a member of the SIAL Network, the world’s most important network of trade fairs dedicated to the food and beverage industry. There are 13 trade fairs held regularly, e.g. SIAL Canada Montreal and Toronto, SIAL Chine in Shanghai and Shenzhen, SIAL Middle East in Abu Dhabi and SIAL America in Las Vegas, which attract 17,000 exhibitors and 700,000 visitors from 200 countries. This year’s event took place from 15-19 October. It resulted in many meetings and inspiring business talks for which we would like to thank you.
