SIAL Paris 2026 is approaching… and of course I couldn’t miss the opportunity to talk about it with Jean-Gabriel Mollard, Director of SIAL Paris, in a new episode of The Retail Influencer.

According to Jean-Gabriel, SIAL is a bit like the World Cup of food. Thousands of exhibitors, professionals from all over the world and, above all, a concentration of trends, innovations and new concepts to discover.

In this episode, we talk about:

· The key trends that will shape the 2026 edition

· The role of artificial intelligence in food and at the trade show itself

· SIAL Innovation and the thousands of products competing

· Startups and innovations that deserve a closer look

· The growth of snacking and street food

· The new Street Lab and new ways of discovering trends

· How to effectively prepare your visit to a trade show that has become gigantic

· And why, despite all the technology available, you should always keep some time to wander around and make unexpected discoveries

SIAL Paris 2026 will take place from 17 to 21 October at Paris-Nord Villepinte.

The full episode is available in French on The Retail Influencer. And for those who prefer Dutch or English, capsules are also available.

I will personally be at SIAL on 19 and 20 October.

Of course, I couldn’t miss this event.

Are you visiting SIAL? Do you have a stand? Do you have a new product, a concept, or simply want to catch up?

I still have a few gaps in my agenda, so feel free to contact me. I’m sure we can find a moment to meet.
