From February 2–5, 2025, our team visited the prestigious ISM Cologne trade fair – the world’s largest event for the sweets and snacks industry, organized by Koelnmesse. Each year, the fair attracts over 1,500 exhibitors and around 32,000 visitors from 135 countries.
What drew us to ISM?
- Broad showcase of trends – from production technologies, sweet and savory snacks, to innovative formats like Sweet Week Talks & Tasting and dedicated sections for Halal and Trend Snacks
- Global innovations – numerous premieres of new products, including sour candy sheets, Dubai-origin chocolates, and sweets with freeze-dried fruits, demonstrating how dynamic and fast-evolving the confectionery segment of FMCG truly is
- Top-level networking – hundreds of meetings with industry professionals, trendsetters, and suppliers in the confectionery sector
We attended as visitors, which allowed us to:
- Explore the latest global trends in ingredient production – especially collagen and functional additives
- Draw inspiration from innovative products and packaging solutions
- Establish valuable business contacts and gain a deeper understanding of international market expectations
You can see a photo from our visit above – thank you for the inspiring time at Sweet Week, and we’re already planning to take part in the next edition!
