WELCOME

Welcome to Innoveat 2021! With the huge success of our very first virtual event just six months
ago in October 2020, here we are again with over 100 brands who are excited to share their
innovation with you.

With the current situation continuing with Covid there is still uncertainty whether the face to face
exhibitions will go ahead this year. For us at Innoveat we will continue to stay virtual due many
positive factors.

When we saw all the cancellations being made, all we could think of is the food & beverage
brands who have worked so tirelessly to prepare for their new product launches as well as
bring out new additions to their current range. So we could not cancel.

Innoveat’s mission is to continue to make leveraging alternative routes to market even easier
for food & drink suppliers. This mission is especially more relevant in the current climate. We’ve
always aimed to make a real difference and add value to the world of Food exhibitions, in what
is an extremely challenging time for the industry. This year Innoveat is offering again a virtual
solution for both buyers and suppliers by facilitating networking, 1-2-1 meetings and a longer
exhibition window for suppliers.

Innoveat continues to pioneer in the food exhibition industry by providing new ways for buyers
to connect with the best suppliers in the UK. This year is no different, so we have launched a
virtual marketplace which allows buyers unlimited access to suppliers over a 14-day period.
We are incredibly excited about this opportunity to meet the needs of such a brilliant industry
during these unpredictable times.

We will continue to send out ambient sample boxes to buyers, the samples are consolidated into
one large box for hassle free delivery to buyers.

The Innoveat 2021 virtual marketplace​will be open between 5 – 18 April 2021. A warm
welcome to all of you from various sectors including retail, foodservice, wholesale, trains, air-
lines, ferries/cruises, hotels, petrol forecourts, farmshops and deli’s. Feel free to browse around
and chat to brands as well as request meetings. Buyers can also request more information from
individual suppliers via their ‘virtual booths’. With no access time limitations, buyers can browse
for as long as they like and as many times as necessary.

You can contact the Innoveat team with any questions at anytime at [email protected]

We are excited to be continuing with our new virtual format and have further plans to hold
more events throughout the year, please do keep an eye out.

Our new Innoveat App is also launching in April 2021 email us at [email protected] to
register for free if you are a buyer.

Enjoy the event and keep safe!

and timing to create the perfect caramelised
nut: golden, subtly sweet, crunchy and
