What is new for Anuga 2025
In line with its top theme Sustainable Growth, the upcoming Anuga 2025 will launch a new platform - Anuga Alternatives. It is the trade show’s response to the food industry’s developments in regard to meat alternatives. The product range will cover algae protein, mushroom-based protein, plant-based protein, cell-cultivated protein, and more. The accompanying programme will comprise panels and workshops addressing the scientific, technical, socio-economic and ethical aspects of alternative food solutions.
In 2025, Anuga will return to Messe Cologne with an optimised structure, facilitating the route between the various segments and reinforcing the synergies between them.
