With a strong lineup of exhibitors and country pavilions, it has become a dynamic meeting point for brands, buyers, and thought leaders to exchange ideas, forge partnerships, and explore sustainable solutions,” he added.

The 2025 edition features over 550 exhibitors from more than 70 countries, presenting 56,000 products, including 2,200+ new global launches. More than 20 country pavilions showcase diverse offerings, with returning participants such as Malaysia, Thailand, Russia, Spain, Italy, Greece, Ecuador, Rwanda, and Sri Lanka, alongside new entrants including Albania, Armenia, Ghana, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and China.
