Strong Focus on Sustainable Food Systems and Future Hospitality Innovation at FHA 2026

SINGAPORE, March 23, 2026 — As the global food and hospitality industry faces mounting pressure to decarbonise supply chains and adapt to shifting consumer expectations, the upcoming Food & Hospitality Asia (FHA) 2026 event is set to spotlight sustainability, digital innovation and next-generation food systems.

Returning from April 21-24, 2026 at the Singapore EXPO, FHA 2026 will bring together more than 2,750 exhibitors from over 50 countries, alongside an estimated 80,000 attendees, making it the largest edition of the event in a decade.

The event, which integrates FHA Food & Beverage (F&B) and FHA HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, Café), and co-locates with Prowine Singapore and IndusFood Asia, reflects the growing convergence of global food supply chains, hospitality operations and technology-driven innovation.

Sustainability and Innovation Take Centre Stage

A key highlight of FHA 2026 is the introduction of the FutureFWD platform, a new feature focused on next-generation solutions that are transforming foodservice, hospitality and retail ecosystems.

The FutureFWD Seminar will place particular emphasis on sustainability, digital transformation and evolving consumer behaviours, bringing together industry leaders to explore how businesses can adapt to a rapidly changing landscape.

Complementing this is the Sustainability Summit, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which will convene stakeholders across the value chain to explore solutions ranging from alternative proteins to low-carbon hospitality models.

These initiatives reflect a broader industry shift toward integrating sustainability into core business strategies, rather than treating it as a peripheral consideration.

Reimagining Food Systems Across Supply Chains

FHA 2026 will showcase over 800,000 products, innovations and solutions across 18 segments spanning the entire food and hospitality ecosystem.

Key segments such as fresh produce, dairy, seafood, convenience food and halal offerings highlight the increasing focus on traceability, food security and sustainable sourcing. The event will also bring together leading global producers and suppliers, offering insights into how supply chains are evolving to meet both environmental and commercial demands.

The participation of the European Union as Region of Honour further underscores the emphasis on premium, high-quality and increasingly sustainability-aligned food products entering Asian markets.

Beyond food systems, FHA 2026 will also highlight how technology is reshaping hospitality operations.

From automation and robotics to integrated point-of-sale systems and customer engagement platforms, companies such as Rolo Robotics, Xilnex Holdings and Razer Fintech are expected to demonstrate how digital solutions can enhance efficiency, reduce operational waste and improve customer experiences.

These innovations are increasingly critical as hospitality businesses seek to balance rising operational costs with sustainability goals and evolving consumer expectations.

ASEAN and Asia-Pacific at the Forefront of Transition

The co-location of IndusFood Asia 2026, supported by the Government of India, signals a deeper integration of regional food ecosystems and trade networks across Asia.

At the same time, the expanded Coffee, Tea and Bar segment reflects shifting consumption patterns in ASEAN markets, where cafés and restaurants are incorporating more diverse and premium beverage offerings, often aligned with sustainability and experiential trends.

With over 80% of exhibitors coming from international markets, FHA 2026 reinforces Asia-Pacific’s position as a critical hub for global food innovation, trade and sustainability transformation.

As the food and hospitality sectors confront challenges ranging from climate change and resource constraints to digital disruption, platforms such as FHA 2026 are playing an increasingly important role in connecting stakeholders, accelerating innovation and enabling the transition toward more sustainable systems.

By bringing together policymakers, producers, technology providers and industry leaders, the event is expected to drive conversations that move beyond trends and toward actionable solutions for building resilient, low-carbon and future-ready food ecosystems.
