Supply chain constraints and sustainability demands are shaping agendas across European food markets in 2026. Lisbon Food Affair 2026 takes place from 9 to 11 February in Lisbon and assembles product ranges, HORECA solutions and processing technologies under one roof.
What Lisbon Food Affair 2026 brings together
Lisbon Food Affair 2026 organizes activity across three tracks: Food & Beverage for branded and gourmet products; HORECA for hotel and restaurant equipment; and Technology for processing machinery and industrial solutions. The 2026 edition included more than 200 exhibiting companies and over 70 professional activities such as talks, showcookings and tech demos, according to the event programme.
Practical information and venue

Exhibitors and sector coverage
Exhibitors range from food producers and beverage brands to distributors, HORECA operators and manufacturers of machines and processing equipment. The three-track layout helps buyers and suppliers focus their visits by channel and product type, from local producers to companies pursuing international markets.
B2B programme and Hosted Buyers
Lisbon Food Affair 2026 runs a Hosted Buyers scheme and a pre-scheduled B2B meeting platform that connects exhibitors with selected international buyers. To make the most of this, define your target markets, request meetings in advance and prepare concise commercial packs with technical specs and export terms.
Practical commercial actions
- Prepare one-page product sheets in Portuguese and English covering ingredients, allergens and logistics.
- Prebook meetings through the event platform and confirm times.
- Provide samples or clear visual material to allow price and packaging assessment.
- Implement a follow-up routine with a standard email, commercial terms sheet and a timeline for next steps.

How to approach prospecting at Lisbon Food Affair 2026
Split your agenda by target: reserve slots for distributors and international buyers early in the show, dedicate mid-days to HORECA contacts and use final sessions to review machinery and technology options. Use the exhibitor list to plan a route and capture meeting outcomes with a simple lead form that records interest level, expected purchase window and the contact responsible.
Technical exhibitors should bring wiring requirements, performance data and installation outlines. Food brands must have clean product sheets and clear export conditions.
