Drinktec India, while not a separate event, is an associated trade fair held alongside other events in India under the Drinktec umbrella. Here’s a breakdown of how Drinktec India functions:
Partnership and Regional Focus:
- Drinktec India isn’t a standalone event but a collaboration between YONTEX GmbH & Co. KG (organizers of Drinktec) and an Indian event organizer.
- It focuses specifically on the Indian beverage and liquid food industry, showcasing products and solutions relevant to the Indian market.
Frequency and Location:
- Drinktec India doesn’t have a fixed frequency. It’s typically held alongside other events in India, like PackMach Asia (packaging technology) or World Tea & Coffee Expo, depending on the year.
- The location can also vary depending on the specific partnering event. For instance, the upcoming edition in 2024 is happening at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai.
Similarities with Drinktec:
- Drinktec India shares some core characteristics with the main Drinktec event in Germany:
- Focus on similar industry segments within the beverage and liquid food sector.
- Exhibition of machinery, equipment, ingredients, and packaging solutions.
- Educational sessions and conferences (potentially scaled down compared to the main event).
- Networking opportunities for industry professionals.
Differences from Drinktec:
- Drinktec India caters specifically to the Indian market, so the types of exhibitors and showcased products might be tailored to Indian needs and regulations.
- The scale of the event is likely to be smaller compared to the massive Drinktec event in Munich.
