    UK food and drink producers will feature strongly at SIAL, the world’s largest trade show for the industry in 2020. 

    Taking place in Paris, the UK pavilion organised by FDEA in conjunction with its event delivery partner, PS8, expect to attract 100 companies all looking to grow their export business.

    Given the importance of the EU to the UK food and drink industry - with over 70% of our exports going to the EU  - it is vital that access to this market is maintained. SIAL provides an excellent platform for UK businesses to meet with export partners and is a highly important event in the calendar this year.

    The show is in October but initial booking deadlines have passed.  Immediate action needed to book space
