With less than nine months before opening, Cibus Tec 2026 (Fiere di Parma, October 27–30, 2026) is set to return to Parma stronger than ever, following a 2023 edition that achieved record results, confirming the event as one of the key international appointments for the food machinery supply chain.
Strong on the results achieved in the 2023 edition, which attracted a significant presence of exhibitors, over 1,200 companies from 30 countries, and welcomed 40,000 professionals from more than 120 countries, Cibus Tec 2026 is already showing further growth in its key indicators.
Comparison with the same period in the 2023 edition, highlights a 20% increase in the number of exhibitors and a 30% growth in the total exhibition area. The data for the international component is particularly positive, showing marked expansion, with a 48% increase in foreign exhibitors and a 38% rise in dedicated exhibition space.
This trend of steady growth suggests a professional visitor turnout exceeding the 40,000 recorded in the previous edition. For the 2026 edition, the Top Buyers Program is further strengthened and consolidated. It is the largest incoming program organised in collaboration with Agenzia ICE – Italian Trade & Investment Agency and with the support of the Emilia-Romagna Region, targeting strategic supply chains and new markets. In 2023, the Top Buyers Program welcomed over 3,000 international top buyers from more than 80 countries.
Cibus Tec 2026 strengthens its role as the Italian reference point for beverage technologies. This dedicated area represents the entire technological chain, from production to bottling, up to end-of-line solutions, facilitating dialogue between technology providers and beverage companies. It is a reserved space focused on the main trends of the sector, from new formats to ready-to-drink, from Better For You products to sustainability, industrial performance, equipment reliability, reduced consumption, and packaging.
Alongside the two vertical formats, Cibus Tec 2026 confirms its ability to comprehensively and credibly represent solutions for the main food supply chains, from the processing of fruit, vegetables, sauces, and condiments, to dairy, meat, and fish, all the way to ready meals, coffee, chocolate, and snacks; for all these sectors, the event offers an innovative view of industry process needs and the corresponding technological solutions.
Across all supply chains are the technological platforms that today determine competitiveness: packaging and end-of-line, intralogistics and traceability, automation and robotics, digitalisation and data, hygiene and food safety, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability solutions. An integrated system that enables companies to design plant innovations with a complete vision, from productivity to quality. For more visit cibustec.it
