The week of beverage insights

drinktec 2025 is in full swing, with discussions aplenty at the Liquidrome stage and exhibitors showcasing solutions in the trade fair’s three overarching themes of Circularity and Resource management, Data2Value and Lifestyle and Health.

According to the organisers, yesterday “exhibitors and speakers showcased recycling solutions, presented new approaches to sustainable packaging and discussed how resources can be used more efficiently.”

Visitors to this week’s show are able to learn about upcoming trends, innovation and how the beverage and liquid food industry is moving towards a circular future. Our roving reporter Dominique Huret has been on the show floor gaining key insights for you, which will be included our drinktec review, available in CanTech’s November edition.

Unfortunately, Sarah Hills is currently out of action with a broken foot. I’m sure you’ll all join us in wishing her a safe return journey from Münich with Food & Drink Technology colleagues, Ben Askew and Rodney Jack – as well as a speedy recovery! This will also mean she’s unable to travel to the IMDPA Conference next week, but rest assured I will still be at the conference, breakout sessions and exhibition representing team CanTech from 24 to 25 September.

In other news, our 2026 media pack will be ready for release very soon. If you’d like an exclusive insight into our features list, please do drop myself a message using the contact details below. In addition, with Metpack around the corner for next year, we have a good few advertising packages available for those of you wanting to strengthen your presence at the show.
