THAIFEX – HOREC Asia 2025 is set to redefine the hospitality sector once again with the introduction of groundbreaking features such as the Tech Lounge, where AI-powered automation meets hospitality, and the Asian Pizza Show Academy, which spotlights the region’s growing pizza market. Returning this March, the event will offer industry professionals a front-row seat to the innovations that bridge the gap with real-world applications that shape the future of hotels, restaurants, and catering (HoReCa).

Southeast Asia’s premier HoReCa trade event, THAIFEX – HOREC Asia 2025, returns from 5–7 March 2025 at IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, Bangkok, Thailand. Featuring 400+ exhibitors from 23 countries/regions, over 20,000 professionals, and the region’s largest buyer programme with over 500 top-tier HoReCa buyers, THAIFEX – HOREC Asia 2025 is a key strategic platform for business-driven innovation, market expansion, and deal-making opportunities.

Building on the success of its inaugural 2024 edition, this year’s event expands to meet the growing industry demand for AI-driven automation, digital procurement, and cost-effective food service solutions. The 50 percent increase in pre-scheduled business meetings compared to the previous year underscores its role as a leading platform for partnerships and industry advancement. 

New for 2025: Must-attend industry features

This year’s edition introduces two major highlights:

  • Tech Lounge at THAIFEX – HOREC Academy – A dedicated space showcasing AI-powered automation, contactless service, and data-driven solutions to enhance business operations.
  • Asian Pizza Show Academy – An interactive highlight featuring expert demonstrations, advanced pizza-making equipment, and premium ingredients, tapping into Southeast Asia’s booming pizza market.

These new additions join flagship highlights such as the THAIFEX – HOREC Xperiential Zone, where professionals can experience next-generation hospitality and food service innovations first-hand. Returning industry-favourite competitions, including the ASEAN Barista Team Championship and Thailand Ultimate Housekeeping Challenge, continue to spotlight top talents.

Mathias Kuepper, Managing Director and VP Asia-Pacific of Koelnmesse, shared: “THAIFEX – HOREC Asia 2025 is a catalyst for change in the HoReCa industry. AI automation, digital procurement, and sustainability are no longer trends; they are essential strategies for future growth. With the Tech Lounge showcasing automation, the Xperiential Zone bringing innovation into real-world applications, and the Asian Pizza Show Academy aligning with the expected growth in Southeast Asia, every programme is built for businesses looking to adapt, scale, and lead. Alongside returning highlights like the THAIFEX – HOREC Academy and Innovation Awards, this power-packed three-day event is the ultimate platform for industry transformation.”
