Plovdiv hosts the prestigious 13th Central European Food Congress
The city of Plovdiv is preparing to welcome experts, scientists, and specialists from all over Europe for the 13th edition of the Central European Food Congress, known as CeFood 2026. The event is one of the most significant in the region for the food industry and technology sector.
The main goal of the congress is to bring together leading names in science to discuss the latest trends in the production of safe and high-quality food. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange experience regarding innovations in processing, packaging, and quality control of food products.
For Bulgaria, this event is of great importance, as our country has long-standing traditions in the food and beverage industry. Hosting such an international forum highlights Plovdiv's role as a center for the development of science and technology in Southeast Europe.
The congress program includes a series of lectures, discussions, and demonstrations of new technologies. The event is expected to attract hundreds of delegates who will seek solutions for more sustainable and environmentally friendly food production in the future.
The organizers hope that CeFood 2026 will mark the beginning of new partnerships between Bulgarian companies and European research institutes. The congress will last for several days, during which Plovdiv will be the focal point for the development of the food sector in Europe.
