Specialisation and uniqueness: the flagship showcase of the Czech food sector, presenting the country’s finest achievements in the food industry under the motto ‘From field to table’. The exhibition serves as a central platform for promoting high value-added brands, particularly those bearing state quality marks. Czech Food Expo combines a professional forum with a major trading platform, creating a unique space for dialogue between small craft producers and the giants of European retail.

The exhibition’s thematic content is structured to align as closely as possible with consumer trends. The Regional Food exhibition takes centre stage, showcasing products with a unique geographical origin. The Organic & Bio sector showcases the development of organic farming, whilst the tasting areas in the Traditional Beverages segment allow visitors to appreciate the potential of Czech brewing and winemaking. The business programme includes a series of round-table discussions on the digitalisation of sales and the adaptation of products to EU standards, whilst open masterclasses by the professional chefs’ association ensure high engagement from the media community.

The key feature of Czech Food Expo is its ability to transform a traditional trade fair into an effective tool for direct sales. Thanks to the high proportion of trade visitors, predominantly from the HoReCa sector and chain retail buyers, the event provides immediate feedback on the competitiveness of products. The presence of dedicated areas for B2B negotiations allows manufacturers to present their product range in an intimate setting, which facilitates the conclusion of deals directly during the event.

For food producers, participating in Czech Food Expo 2027 provides an effective way to enter the Czech retail ecosystem. The event helps to clearly identify high-demand market niches and establish trusting relationships with local distributors, which is crucial for sustainable operations in the region. Here, every contact has the potential to develop into a long-term partnership, transforming exhibition activity into a stable listing and the expansion of sales channels.
