How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

Launched in 2022, CFIA Toulouse is the South-West edition of the CFIA, whose parent edition is held in Rennes: CFIA Rennes. The choice of the South-West reflects the region's high density of food processing industry. The inaugural 2022 edition brought together close to 6,000 visitors, and the trade show confirmed its foothold in 2024 for its second edition at the MEETT. The third edition, from 22 to 24 September 2026, continues this biennial rhythm in even years, drawing on the CFIA's three complementary worlds: ingredients and food intermediates, equipment and processes, packaging and conditioning. The Toulouse region of the South-West also hosts other industrial gatherings such as SIANE and SEPEM Toulouse.
