LEADING UK INNOVATION
“The world would do well to study, adopt and celebrate what the UK is quietly perfecting…”
In the UK's labs, fields, kitchens and factories, a small nation quietly forges global leadership in food and drink - marrying heritage with fearless innovation to craft ethical, delicious, future-proof tastes that the world increasingly craves and needs.

MEET THE BUYER
THE MAIN EVENT
Join us for an exclusive two-day event at the stunning Tower Bridge Hotel in London, where you'll meet high-level international buyers face-to-face.
We're flying in 75 carefully selected buyers specifically to meet FDEA members.
This once-a-year opportunity is expected to be in extremely high demand.
We'll be publishing the confirmed buyer list progressively throughout the year as commitments are secured.
Each buyer will be thoroughly vetted, pre-engaged through our online events and fully briefed on your brand via the FDEA Exporter Catalogue on the Collaborative platform long before they arrive in October.
Secure your place early – this will be a sell out.
📍 Tower Hotel, London
📆 14 & 15 Oct 2026
🎟️ Grab Your Place - will sell out!
