SIAL Innovation, where visitors can decipher the food of tomorrow

The trade fair’s international observatory for food innovation will be presenting the most inspiring new products from across the world in Hall 6 later today

SIAL Paris 2022 has this year launched a new category of SIAL Innovation – the Public Prize, which will give audiences their say.

The eagerly awaited competition provides a forum for invention, transition, re-invention and decoding new concepts and trends. Some 520 products were selected among more than 1,800 applicants and submitted to a jury of experts headed by SIAL’s partner, Protéines XTC, and a Grand Jury.

This year’s winners include a wide range of food products from around the world including France, Argentina, South Korea, Italy and Thailand. Top of the list are the sector awards, with winners for dairy, seafood, frozen, and out-of-home catering products, to name but a few. The prize list is supplemented by five ‘special prizes’ – the three bronze, silver and gold SIALs, the Public Prize and the SIAL Own the Change prize, which will be revealed this afternoon. For the first time, the public also gets their say by selecting which of the category winners deserves the Public Prize.

The Grand Jury, which brings together show organisers, business leaders and journalists, looks at each of the products’ innovative qualities, even if they have not yet been finalised and are still between the testing and launch phase. They also examine what new benefits the product may bring to consumers or to the industry, such as merchandising, packaging, recipe, technology, etc. Only those considered to be the most innovative are rewarded with first prizes.

SIAL Innovation offers great visibility to winning brands and numerous contact opportunities before, during and after the show. Their products will also be highlighted across the SIAL network – Jakarta, Canada, China, USA and India, alongside the exhibitor’s contact details.
