As a benchmark event in the global confectionery and snack food industry, the International Confectionery and Snack Exhibition (ISM) Cologne, Germany, will grandly open at the Cologne Exhibition Center from February 1 to 4, 2026. This year's exhibition gathers approximately 1,600 exhibitors from more than 70 countries, covering an exhibition area of 110,000 square meters, and is expected to attract over 40,000 professional buyers worldwide. With the core concept of "Innovation Drives the Future, Collaboration Wins Globally", it will build a full-industry-chain exchange and cooperation platform.
This exhibition is full of highlights. The newly launched "ISM Ingredients" innovation section will make its debut in Hall 10.1, focusing on raw materials, ingredients and semi-finished products. It replaces the original ProSweets Cologne ingredients section, building an exclusive docking channel for supply and demand sides and maximizing the collaborative value of the industrial chain. The co-located ProSweets Cologne exhibition will focus on machinery, packaging and food safety solutions, complementing ISM to fully cover industry needs. In addition, the exhibition will feature new product display areas, industry trend forums, and ISM Award selection activities, providing a deep interpretation of cutting-edge consumption trends such as sugar-free, plant-based, and clean labels, and helping enterprises capitalize on the 100-billion-euro market dividend in Europe.
We sincerely invite practitioners, purchasers, distributor,s and entrepreneurs in the global confectionery and snack food industry to attend the exhibition. Focus on Booth E-067G, Hall 11.1, and meet with us face-to-face to discuss industry trends and explore cooperation opportunities.
