IFE was delighted to host its first ever Meet the Buyer events, in partnership with Tesco and TickEat

IFE 2025 has been great. We’ve met multiple strong businesses, including Emirates and WHSmith, two that were on our list to target. We have also had a lot of interest from hotels, including the Hilton Group. We are leaving IFE with lots of leads to follow up on!
Hot Chip Dublin
We had great discussions with retailers, mostly with Tesco and Holland & Barrett. Our brand is due to launch in the UK in the coming weeks, so to meet buyers from the UK has been amazing.
JANE (Bleu NV)
It's just been awesome—speaking to so many different people, getting so much interest, and seeing what's happening in the food and beverage space around the world has been really cool. We've met quite a few interesting people; it's been a really successful experience.
Australian Pavillion - Wood Fired Coffee

My favourite part has been the opportunity to engage with so many UK retailers and distributors as we launch our brand here. Getting quality face time with potential customers has been incredibly valuable, and we've had great exposure across both foodservice and retail. We even had Tesco visit our stand, which was really exciting. It’s been a fantastic show—generating over 100 leads, many of them from top retailers.

SuckerPunch Pickles
We've been exhibiting at IFE for the last two years, but this year the response has been enormous. We received a high volume of inquiries—including from European buyers and all the major UK supermarkets including Tesco and connecting with Ocado. Overall, we're very pleased with the event.
