More than 2,000 exhibitors have registered for the new edition of Host, which will be held at fieramilano from 13 to 17 October 2023. The representation will be international: 40% of the exhibitors come from 50 foreign countries. The top five countries in terms of exhibitor numbers include Germany, Spain, France and the United States, who see HostMilano as an opportunity to do business ‘world over’. They are followed by Switzerland, the Netherlands and Portugal, and then Turkey and China.
These figures demonstrate the effectiveness of the HostMilano concept, which presents itself to the market with numbers comparable to the 2019 edition. The event is thus strengthened as the world’s leading platform for machines, technologies, semi-finished products, formats, accessories and services for professional hospitality, away-from-home and retail.
In addition to thousands of professional operators, exhibitors will meet hosted buyers from 75 countries from all over the world, in cooperation with ICE-ITA Agency on destination markets
The event combines a comprehensive overview of innovation in the entire professional hospitality sector with vertical insights in individual sectors, thanks to three macro-areas Professional Catering-Bakery, Pizza, Pasta (38% of the total); Coffee-Tea, Bar-Coffee Machines-Vending and Ice Cream-Pastry (42%); Furniture-Technology and Tableware (20%).
Host does not just respond to market demands, but intends to proactively anticipate tomorrow. Proof of this is the value of Smart Label – Host Innovation Award in collaboration with POLI.design and with the patronage of ADI – Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (Industrial Design Association), which in just six editions has evolved from an authoritative award to an ecosystem that enhances the growing investment in Research & Development of companies in the sector: at Host 2023, the dedicated Smart Label area will in fact allow visitors to touch the 26 award-winning products.
HostMilano will be held at fieramilano from 13 to 17 October 2023.
