"This certification mark represents our commitment to producing eggs to rigorous standards in the areas of animal care and food safety. Subway® Canada's leadership in promoting the EQA® mark demonstrates its strong commitment to sourcing Canadian products, from Canadian farmers, produced to Canadian standards. These standards are part of our national programs and are essential for supporting a strong egg farming industry."

"As a leading quick-service restaurant in Canada and around the world, we pride ourselves on serving up great tasting food and a key part of delivering on that promise to our guests are partnerships with our supply chain partners, like Canadian egg farmers."

All EQA® certified eggs have met the rigorous standards of Egg Farmers of Canada's national Start Clean-Stay Clean® and Animal Care Programs. While these programs have been in place for decades, the EQA® certification mark represents a new visual way to recognize eggs produced to these high standards.

Milan-Dubai, 6 November 2024Gulf countries are increasingly in the spotlight. On the 16th of October, the first bilateral summit between the EU and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council, the organization that brings together the 6 states of the region) was held in Brussels. On the table was a rich trade exchange where the main product category in European exports is machinery, worth 38.8 billion euros (source: European Commission).

In this scenario, HostMilano,the world’s leading exhibition for hospitality, out-of-home, and retail equipment, products and services, meets today in Dubai with operators, institutions, media and stakeholders in the region to present business opportunities of the industries represented in the Fiera Milano-owned exhibition, whose next edition will be held at fieramilano - Rho from 17 to 21 October 2025.

According to a recent analysis by ExportPlanning, the global output of the industries featured at Host 2025 reached 234.4 billion euros in 2023, with a 42.1 billion euro growth over the past 4 years (CAGR +5.1 percent). The lion’s share was taken by food service equipment, with 99.4 billion euros (23.2 billion higher than in 2019, CAGR +6.9 percent).

Regarding exports, all HostMilano sectors were worth 166.5 billion euros globally last year, and they are expected to see a further increase of 36.4 billion euros (CAGR +5.1 percent) by 2027, to exceed 202 billion euros. Driver areas will be Asia and the European Union, with +24 and +10.3 billion euros respectively. By industries, the highest export value is featured by Furniture and Tableware with 105.2 billion euros in 2027 (+18.3 billion compared to 2023, CAGR +4.9 percent). Food service equipment is also noteworthy, with 85.4 billion euros in 2027, more than 16 billion euros higher than today (CAGR +5.4 percent).

Back to the EU-GCC interchange, HostMilano sectors generated 1.31 billion euros in 2023, a value that will rise to 1.6 billion euros in 2027 thanks to a 6.2

percent CAGR. The main markets are the United Arab Emirates with 612.2 million euros (791 million in 2027, CAGR +6.6 percent) and Saudi Arabia with 455.9 million euros (598.9 million in 2027, CAGR +7.1 percent).

Regarding Italy in particular – a leading country in several sectors – exports to the GCC were worth 395.3 million euros in 2023 (445 million in 2027, +12.5 percent by the end of the period considered).

Food Service Equipment takes center stage among sectors, and it will increase from 224.7 million euros in 2023 to 245.3 million euros in 2027 (+9.2 percent by the end of the period considered). In the same time frame, Bakery and Pastry Machinery will increase from 30.9 to 32.6 million euros (+5.5 percent), and Furniture and Tableware will rise from 51.4 to 59.8 million euros (+16.3 percent). However, the best performer will be Coffee Machines, growing from 86.8 to 107.3 million euros (+23.6 percent).  

These industries are also among the most representative Host 2025 sectors, with Food Service Equipment confirmed to be among the most relevant. The strong focus on bakery is reflected in the agreement signed with the SIPAN Consortium, which will see the presence of the top Italian machinery manufacturers for this industry, and in a dedicated brand identity that repositions and strengthens the historic MIPPP - Milano Pane Pizza Pasta.

In turn, the pivotal role of the Bar, Coffee Machines and Vending sector is highlighted by its organic growth in synergy with the Coffee-Tea area in the equally historic SIC - Salone Internazionale del Caffè and will be sealed, in the next edition, by the long-awaited return to Milan of the World Barista Championship™, organized by SCA.

The entire exhibition concept, that encourages cross-selling between supply chains thanks to three macro-areas that add value to vertical sectors, will complete a unique offer in terms of completeness in the international exhibition scene. As of today, more than 1,200 companies have already registered for Host 2025, with about 40 percent of them being international from 43 countries, besides Italy.

The 44th edition will be held at fieramilano - Rho from 17 to 21 October 2025.

Milan-Dubai, 6 November 2024 – Less than a year before the ribbon-cutting ceremony HostMilano - the world's leading event for professional hospitality, away-from-home and retail, organized by Fiera Milano - chooses Dubai, in the heart of one of the most dynamic regions on the planet, to present to international stakeholders the 44th edition, which will be held at fieramilano - Rho from October 17 to 21otto October.

To date there are already more than 1,200 registered exhibitors, 40% of whom are international from 43 countries. An internationality that is also reflected in the profiled, high-budget buyers from 75 countries: purchasing managers and corporate decision-makers who come from all over the world, from Europe, the United States, Canada or Brazil to those who travel many thousands of kilometers to get there from places as far away as Samoa or Fiji.

This meeting of global supply and demand reflects a market of great significance: according to a recent study by analyst ExportPlanning,in 2023 the global value of the industries represented at HostMilano was 234.4 billion euros (CAGR +5.1% between 2020 and 2023). Of this, €177 billion is represented by international trade, which is estimated to reach €216.3 billion in 2027 (CAGR 5.1%).

A unique exhibition concept that enhances cross-selling

A unique business and networking opportunity, thanks to the exhibition concept that combines a comprehensive overview with vertical insights,enhancing industry affinities.

There are important news for the historic vertical exhibition SIC - Salone internazionale del Caffè,which will be particularly in the spotlight at the long-awaited return to Milan of the World Barista Championship™, organized by SCA. SIC will be developed in synergy with the Bar, Coffee Machines-Vending andCoffee-Tea areas. Focused on promoting excellence in coffee and the professional development of baristas, the WBC is the competition par excellence of the seven World Coffee Championships, hosted at some of the world's coffee events, and is considered the most important coffee competition in the world.

Among the new features of Host 2025 is the strong focus on 'Arte Bianca, with a dedicated brand identity that strengthens the historic MIPPP - Milano Pane Pizza Pasta. Next year, the vertical show will also be able to count on the membership of the SIPAN Consortium, strong of leading Italian companies in technologies for the sector, a driving force to make Host 2025 the only show that presents next-generation innovation.

Bakery is a sector that lends itself particularly well to hybridization, from retail to laboratories to industrial bakery: on the exhibitor side, the organic expansion of the MIPPP format will open up new opportunities for internationalization, while on the visitor side it will broaden the audience of professionals: bakers, distributors, retailers and more from around the world.

Beyond business opportunities, high-profile content

HostMilano has always been characterized by being not only the meeting place par excellence between supply and demand, but also an appointment dedicated to high-profile content: a preview of international scenarios, changes and evolutions of consumption models, and new hospitality formats ranging from competitions to debates on hot topics and the sharing of data and analysis with the most authoritative experts, to high-level training that includes a real full immersion (and training credits) for professionals in the sector.

The seventh edition of Smart Label - Host Innovation Award will take center stage, the recognition promoted by HostMilano and Fiera Milano in partnership with POLI.design - School of High Specialization of the Milan Polytechnic University - and under the patronage of ADI - Association for Industrial Design, that promotes sustainable innovation in HostMilano sectors. The nominated projects will explore the four macro-areas Smart Label, Innovation Smart Label, Green Smart Label and Special Mentions, focusing on cutting-edge technologies such as IoT, automation and artificial intelligence, as well as sustainability, which has always been the basis of the award. Again in collaboration with POLI.design, and under the patronage of NEWH - The Hospitality Industry Network, design themes will also be explored in depth in the Design Talks meetings.

However, unmissable events will be presented in all sectors. Just to name a few, the partnership with the Accademia Maestri del Lievito Madre (Masters of Mother Yeast Academy) and its lunges into the myriad declinations of leavened products will culminate in thePanettone World Championship 2025hosted at the event, with 12 national teams competing from around the world.

If performances by the world’s best baristas will exalt gourmet coffees, coffee mixes and new extraction methods, the greatest international pastry masters will amaze with their incredible creations that blend bold ingredients and classic recipes, also through exciting championships and competitions.

There will be no shortage of starred chefs, established or emerging, both successful, who will share their secrets in exciting as well as instructive show-cooking, and pizza masters who will delight and fascinate the audience with the most contemporary and innovative reinterpretations of this great icon of Italian cuisine.

An exhibition that lasts 365 days a year

Meanwhile, Road to Host 2025, the international path to the next edition that includes networking moments with special focuses on North and South America, Europe, Gulf countries and the Far East, continues. After the events in Toronto, Chicago, Copenhagen, Riyadh and today's stop in Dubai, the next stops include Atlanta, Houston and Chicago in the United States, Geneva in Europe and Jeddah in the Middle East, among others.

A project that fits into the HostMilano concept of a “fair 365 days a year,” which also includes an observatory on world markets supported by an extensive multilingual communications program that reaches highly profiled operators from around the world.

The 44th edition will be held at fieramilano – Rho from 17 to 21 October 2025.
