• Back to its roots: Natexpo sets up at Porte de Versailles! 17 years down the line, the show is returning to the Porte de Versailles exhibition centre, a renowned, easily accessible venue in central Paris.
• Organic takes to the stage: more than 200 talks and panel discussions on topical issues, major themes, or returns on experience. Theme-driven forums in association with the show’s partners: trends, market, cosmetics, dietary supplements, retail, etc.
• The Natexpo Awards celebrate their 20th anniversary: a new “vegan” category, a partnership with Accord Bio to improve the listing of winners and a sponsor of this edition of the Natexpo Awards, designated for their expertise of the organic market.
• The Lab by Natexpo, a redesigned format: a space for start-ups run by tomorrow’s eco-entrepreneurs, a pitch day, a dedicated investors operation.
• Local Shops: a day specially tailored to the needs of small independent shops, a dedicated reception, short educational talks, guided tours of the show and accommodation expenses covered.
• Conviviality: “Natexpo Tchin-Tchin”, a festive late opening with drinks and musical entertainment on Monday 1 December, and free coffee for exhibitors every morning before the show opens.
• NEW – Focus on the Fruit & Vegetable sector: all the market’s professionals brought together in a single cluster, a talks and insight programme and a smoothie bar
•  NEW – Organic deals: because the organic sector suffers from the “too pricy” symptom, because consumers want tight control over their spending, Natexpo launches Organic Deals, a zone for exhibitors to highlight their products at pocket-friendly prices.
