[Financial News] Korean food companies are participating in large numbers in the world's largest food exhibition in Paris, France, to showcase the excellence of K-food to consumers worldwide.
According to the Korea Food Industry Association on the 1st, the association will participate in SIAL Paris 2026, held from the 17th to the 21st at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center in Paris, and operate the K-Food Leading Company Pavilion with Korean food companies.
After first unveiling the K-Food Leading Company Pavilion at SIAL Paris 2024 as a distinctive alternative to the government-led Korea Pavilion, the association will expand both the number of participating companies and the exhibition's scale this year.
The 11 participating companies are Nongshim, Daedoo Foods, Lotte Wellfood, Binggrae, Samlip, Samyang Foods, Sempio Foods, OURHOME, Young Poong, Origin Gourmet and Harim. The pavilion will cover approximately 87 booths, or 778.5 square meters.
The pavilion will feature the common slogan "THE TASTE YOU LOVE" and a design inspired by the Taegeuk symbol, highlighting both the individuality of each brand and K-food's unified image.
Product innovation in K-food is also drawing attention at the exhibition. Seventeen products from six companies participating in the K-Food Leading Company Pavilion were selected for the SIAL Innovation Award, which recognizes products demonstrating outstanding innovation and creativity.
Jin-Sun Park, president of the Korea Food Industry Association, said, "As K-food is attracting worldwide attention, we will support Korean companies so that their diverse products and innovation can lead to new business opportunities in global markets."
