IDX_FS International Digital Food Services Expo powered by INTERNORGA: The starting signal for a top-class digital event for the industry

IDX_FS International Digital Food Services Expo powered by INTERNORGA: The starting signal for a top-class digital event for the industry

Originally published 03/04/21

On 15 March 2021, the IDX_FS International Digital Food Service Expo powered by INTERNORGA (IDX_FS Expo), the digital industry event for the catering, foodservice and hotel industries, will get underway. One week before the start of the three-day digital format, the three partners and organisers – INTERNORGA, IDX Events GmbH and the Institute of Culinary Art – as well as a member of the INTERNORGA Exhibitor Advisory Board, explain in an online press conference the current situation amid an ongoing pandemic, the special features and highlights of the event, and the relevance of digital events. The focus is on the varied programme, presented from three stages in Cologne and Hamburg. In addition to an innovative, virtual platform with 100 exhibitors and partners, the IDX_FS Expo will present a series of top-class speakers, well-known competitions and award ceremonies, as well as new formats.

The IDX_FS Expo from 15 to 17 March 2021 will create an industry format that is intended to encourage people, especially in times of ongoing uncertainty. ‘The entire trade fair industry was severely restricted by the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, however, it has also led to new food for thought and significantly accelerated digitalisation. The IDX_FS Expo is not only an absolute must for all those involved in the foodservice and hospitality market, but also sets new benchmarks when it comes to digital approaches to trade fairs,’ says Bernd Aufderheide, Chairman of the Management Board of Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH.

Three exciting days of inspiration, food for thought and pioneering trends await attendees from the catering, foodservice and hotel industries. Claudia Johannsen, Division Manager at Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH, sees the IDX_FS Expo as a strong signal to the industry and is looking forward to an inspiring and lively event: ‘For decades, INTERNORGA has been a hotbed of new trends and fresh impetus, and is known as a high-quality platform for the entire foodservice and hospitality market. We are thrilled that in this unusual year, with two great partners at our side, we are able to offer the entire foodservice and hospitality market a digital platform with the IDX_FS Expo that promises a varied supporting programme, as well as offering exhibitors and visitors opportunities to interact.’

The aims of the industry event are: to connect national and international players from the fields of gastronomy, foodservice, catering and the hotel industry, as well as exhibitors and visitors, both digitally and virtually, and to stimulate exchange and networking. ‘That is unique,’ says Michael Buck, Managing Partner of IDX EVENTS GmbH, the technology and event company that is making the worldwide launch of the IDX_FS Expo possible with the help of a novel distribution platform. ‘We believe that this also provides great added value for all participants and attendees of the digital event. The event will motivate stakeholders in the industry to look positively to the future. Virtual formats will not disappear in the future, but the companies involved and all the rest of us can learn now how to navigate this new hybrid world. That is a great opportunity for learning and experimentation.’

The Institute of Culinary Art (ICA), as sponsor of the trade fair, sees the digital exhibition approach for the entire foodservice and hospitality market as an opportunity to continue to do business successfully in the future and to redefine the value chain. ICA President Gerhard Bruder views the direct gathering of information as a particular source of added value: ‘The possibilities of digital mean visitors can find much of what they are looking for considerably faster. Depending on their interests, they can go straight to the food producers, and then, for example, to the checkout systems – without walking the long distances through the trade fair. They can immediately view the innovations there and interact directly via video.’

MKN Maschinenfabrik Kurt Neubauer GmbH & Co. is an exhibitor and has been a member of the INTERNORGA Exhibitor Advisory Board for many years. Its CEO, Georg Weber, highlights the advantages from an exhibitor’s point of view: ‘Firstly, a participating company benefits from greater reach than at a physical event. The digital format is also used by people for whom travelling to a trade fair in person would be impossible or too expensive. This will significantly increase the potential number of participants in the event.’ Weber also emphasises that the format offers more wide-reaching opportunities: ‘We see the IDX_FS Expo as an opportunity to gain new digital experience and to use this platform for the exchange of expert knowledge beyond the boundaries of our field. We want to enter into dialogue with existing partners and potential customers and present our product highlights. Of course, we also can’t wait to meet and exchange ideas again in person at INTERNORGA in Hamburg. Nothing can replace that physical event.’

Electrolux Professional acts for food support and sustainable cooking together with the Electrolux Food Foundation

SWEDEN, 26th of February 2021 – Electrolux Professional is proud to announce the support of the Electrolux Food Foundation, an independent, non-profit organization that supports initiatives to inspire more sustainable food choices among professionals and consumers, and to support people in need in the communities around us.

See original press release here.

Since food is a major battleground in the fight against climate change, the foundation’s focus is well aligned with the Electrolux Professional commitment to contribute to change through its Sustainability Commitment, that supports the UN Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals.

Niklas Lindsköld, Head of Sustainability at Electrolux Professional “Our support to the Electrolux Food Foundation is a natural step for our sustainability commitment. With our community of dedicated, professional chefs around the world, along with the involvement from the Worldchefs organization, we are uniquely positioned to support the initiatives and important messaging about the need for healthy food and sustainable cooking.”

The Electrolux Food Foundation was established in 2016 focusing on supporting activities on food and related sustainability issues. The foundation brings employee initiatives to life by supporting them with funding and resources. In 2020 the foundation donated more than 800,000 meals around the world.

“We are delighted that Electrolux Professional has decided to join up with us and support the Food Foundation. Our partners give us an edge and help us to be a force for good,” says Ingrid Mellstig, Head of Electrolux Food Foundation.

The purpose is to inspire sustainable eating and cooking habits among consumers and professionals, and to support people in need through education and emergency relief efforts. The foundation supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for Responsible Consumption and Production (#12) and Global Partnership for Sustainable Development (#17).

Hello Chef,

The world is changing, and so are menus.

Plant-based alternatives are booming. This is more than a trend, it’s a social shift. The next generation is adapting to safeguard the future more than any other consumer, with more than 40% of millennials adopting plant-based diets.

It’s so important that chefs stay up-to-date with both consumer demands and how to satisfy them, and perhaps even more important to understand a key root cause for the shift: the climate crisis.

Chef – we’re here to help you take action. Get started by reading this email!

The World’s First Carbon Neutral School of Tea by Dilmah

Sri Lanka · 15 November 2020 · The World’s First Carbon Neutral School of Tea by Dilmah

The Dilmah School of Tea is a tea programme that seeks to inspire passion in tea through knowledge of the artisanal aspects of tea amongst hospitality professionals, tea aficionados and consumers. The emphasis is on the importance of Real Tea and the versatility of this natural herb in Tea Gastronomy, Food Pairing and Tea Mixology. The 70th Dilmah School of Tea in Sri Lanka celebrated 10 years of stirring tea inspiration in February 2020. Initiated in 2009, at the Institut Paul Bocuse in France, Dilmah’s dissemination of knowledge knows no borders, inspiring tea aficionados in Europe, East Asia and more. With up to 5200 participants in total so far, this year 112 participants took part in the only educational course in tea that is accredited by the World Association of Chefs’ Societies. 

In conjunction with these milestones, the 70th session also marks the first ever Carbon Neutral School of Tea. This was made possible because of the philosophy, ‘business a matter of human service’, that is at the heart of the Dilmah Tea brand; every sip of Dilmah enjoyed by the world has contributed to the fulfilment of this philosophy, generating over 40 million USD to humanity. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, supporting conservation projects included the planting of 1 million Cashew Trees in rural Sri Lanka, re-wilding tea gardens and restoring wetlands. Additionally, the Dilmah sustainability team calculated international air mileages, emissions from internal transporting, power and water usage, analyzed waste records and reviewed food plans from the conference, so that it may be offset to ensure the first Carbon Neutral event for Dilmah. 

Further, a paperless learning experience was introduced; participants were required to download the ‘Dilmah Tea inspired App’ for learning material instead of using printed paper textbooks. Examinations this year were also held online. Experiencing the relevance of tea for the 21st Century, all participants experienced a modern Sri Lankan Afternoon Tea that consisted of sweet and savoury items made using local ingredients.
