Koelnmesse will welcome ProSweets 2025 once again, with a focus on innovations, trends and networking.
In just a few months’ time, Cologne will become the central hub of the global sweets and snacks industry from 2 to 5 February 2025. ProSweets Cologne, the ultimate event and content platform for the supplier industry, is introducing a brand-new trade fair concept next year. With independent theme worlds that present trends and innovative solutions from the production, materials and raw materials sections as well as many new event formats, a next-level trade fair experience awaits the visitors.
Sweet Week: The best of ProSweets Cologne and ISM
In the scope of the “Sweet Week”, ProSweets Cologne and ISM, the world’s biggest trade fair for sweets and snacks, are moving even closer together in 2025. In order to strengthen the synergies of the two trade fairs, the Lab5 by ISM is going to be located in Hall 10.1, directly next to Entrance East. The Lab5 by ISM offers room for the latest trends, start-ups, scale-ups and small handicraft businesses. Thanks to the spatial and thematic proximity to the Lab5 by ISM, ProSweets Cologne offers ideal conditions for effective networking between the manufacturers of sweets and snacks and the suppliers of raw materials and ingredients, packaging as well as machines and plants. In addition, the innovations in the stated segments will be centrally bundled for the producers and suppliers and new business opportunities created.
ProSweets Cologne: Matchmaking, networking, digitalisation and AI under focus
In addition to impressive product ideas, ProSweets Cologne 2025 offers a diversified event programme: Practice-oriented lectures, exciting discussions and exclusive tastings will take place on the Expert Stage and on the new Sweet Week – Talks & Tasting Stage.
A special highlight is the Sweet Week Production Summit from 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. on 3 February, that is being organised for the first time and which brings production managers, CEOs and owners of the production companies exhibiting at ISM together with the supplier industry (exhibitors of ProSweets Cologne) in a targeted manner. First-class examples of best practice on the implementation of AI tools for a cost-efficient and future-proof production will be showcased here. Three-minute pitch sessions of the supplier industry by ProSweets Cologne exhibitors will additionally be held here followed by a matchmaking forum in the Networking Area to promote concrete solutions and business relations.
ProSweets Cologne is once again offering Guided Tours in 2025 organised by its partners, DLG e.V. and Sweets Global Network e.V. The DLG Guided Tours whisk the participants off on a journey through the world of sweet and snackable ingredients, where the focus lies on revolutionary ingredients and new taste experiences. The SG Guided Tours invite the most important decision-makers of ISM to join them – a perfect opportunity to meet business partners directly on-site. And the legendary ProSweets Cologne Party, where one can establish new contacts while enjoying music and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere, is also taking place on the Sweet Week Talks & Tasting Stage on 3 February, from 6:00 p.m.
The DLG Careers Day is also celebrating its premiere in 2025 on 2 February. Here, students and young professionals have the opportunity to network with leading supplier companies from the sweets and snacks industry and gain valuable insights into their future career. The Careers Day offers lectures, company pitches and the exclusive opportunity to have application documents checked on-site.
