Trade fair to be held alongside ProSweets Cologne.
ISM is shifting the focus of the 2023 trade fair to content and discussions around the main theme of "ISM - Encourage.Enable.Excite!"
The sweets and snacks industry, like many other industries, is facing unprecedented challenges. Alongside the ongoing effects of the pandemic, are the Ukrainian war and the related volatile markets, increases in the prices of energy and raw materials, and disrupted supply chains. However, ongoing themes revolving around digitalization at the point of sale, as well as the sustainability, transparency and origins of products and ingredients, still continue to play a central role. Resilience and the sustainable, resource-saving production of sweets and snacks is called for more than ever.
