The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (ICCS), in collaboration with IEG Asia, is pleased to announce the signing of a MOU to enhance and facilitate the upcoming inaugural SIGEP Asia and the 5th edition of Restaurant Asia. These events will also be co-located with three other titles – Speciality Food & Drinks Asia, Speciality Coffee & Tea Asia, and Food2GO Asia, and will be held from 26 – 28 June 2024, at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Singapore.

Together, these events will present 10 thematic zones and pavilions that will cover the gelato, pastry, bakery, coffee and tea sectors, and the kitchen, restaurant, and foodservice Ho.Re.Ca. industries.

This collaboration aims to boost the event’s profile, fostering stronger ties between Italy and Asia in the culinary industry. Both parties commit to promoting the events, facilitating networking, inviting buyers, and encouraging cultural exchange.

SIGEP Asia and Restaurant Asia 2024 promises to be an international meeting place for innovation, expertise, and culinary delights, showcasing the best of Italian, Asian, and international gastronomy. Event highlights include the Singapore National Coffee Championship, Technology & Innovation Pavilion, GO Meat-Free Pavilion, Alcohol Pavilion, the RAS Leadership Symposium, and other fringe activities throughout the three-day event.
