Alimentaria FoodTech 2026 at Fira de Barcelona - Gran Via

Alimentaria FoodTech is Spain's flagship trade fair for food and beverage processing equipment and technology, and one of Europe's leading platforms for innovation, technology transfer and business in the sector. Its offering is organised into eight thematic areas covering the whole value chain: SmartAgro, Transformation, Ingredients, Packaging & Labelling, Digitalization & Automation, Food Safety, Refrigeration, and Handling, Storage & Logistics, plus an Industrial & Auxiliary Services section. The 2026 edition places sustainability, automation and new food safety solutions at its core, with an activities programme featuring FoodTech Innovarena, the FoodTech Awards, and dedicated spaces for entrepreneurship and R&D&I. The show brings together manufacturers, distributors, high-level international buyers, technology centres and universities, and acts as a showcase for the latest trends in processing, ingredients and packaging. For attendees travelling to Barcelona, the venue at Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via site (L'Hospitalet de Llobregat) offers convenient access to hotels well connected with the airport and the city centre, both around Gran Via and in Barcelona itself. Booking early is advisable given the overlap with other autumn trade fairs.
