Read full descriptionHide full description
Cibus Tec is the benchmark global event for food and beverage industry technologies and innovations, scheduled to take place in Parma from October 27–30, 2026. For over eighty years, Cibus Tec has supported the evolution of the food industry, promoting dialogue between businesses, research, and universities, and fostering technological innovation and skill distribution across the entire food & beverage value chain, with a significant presence in all product sectors and a strong market-oriented context. Today, the exhibition represents a privileged observation point and discussion forum on the major transformations reshaping the sector—from automation to digitalization, and from sustainability to food safety—offering a comprehensive overview of the solutions and models that will drive its future development. Cibus Tec 2026 is enriched with new special projects dedicated to two strategic supply chains in the food and beverage industry: "Bakery? Yes, we tec!" and "Beverage? Yes, we tec!". These two thematic areas are fully dedicated to the most innovative technologies and solutions for baked goods and the beverage sector, covering the entire production process from raw material processing to packaging and end-of-line systems. Alongside the exhibition area, Cibus Tec 2026 presents an extensive program of special zones, conferences, and events designed to connect technologies, skills, and people, providing professional development and networking opportunities for the entire supply chain. Among the initiatives is the Demo Factory, featuring live demonstrations of two fully operational, highly automated production lines; the Startup Area, showcasing a selection of top projects and solutions to foster innovation; and the Talent Academy, created with the support of Cisita Parma. The Talent Academy promotes dialogue between education and industry, facilitating connections between students, educators, and companies in the food technology sector through discussions on future skills. A key highlight of this year is the strategic partnership with Federvini, the federation representing Italian companies in the wine, spirits, and vinegar sectors, which helps bring the wine industry to the trade show. Hall 3 hosts several leading suppliers of technologies and solutions for the winemaking sector. Additionally, on October 29, a workshop dedicated entirely to the wine industry will take place, featuring high-profile speaker panels from Italy and abroad to address strategic issues impacting the supply chain's competitiveness—ranging from international trade agreements and evolving European regulatory frameworks to sustainability challenges. Highlighting innovation, the conference "Food 5.0: From AI to Automation for Safe and Competitive Production"—organized by SPS Italia and scheduled for October 30—focuses on the technologies transforming the food industry. Artificial intelligence, automation, process digitalization, and data utilization will be at the center of discussions among experts, companies, and industry operators, aimed at exploring how new technologies contribute to competitiveness, safety, and sustainability in food production. Cibus Tec 2026 takes place concurrently with Labotec, the benchmark event for laboratory innovation, technology, and scientific analysis. Entry to both trade shows is free to encourage broader professional participation and maximize the reach of the technical and scientific content offered. Free admission passes can be downloaded by registering on the official event website's online ticketing portal.
