Internationality will be the banner of the 40th edition of SIGEP, the international trade show of artisan gelato, pastry and bakery production and the coffee world, organised by Italian Exhibition Group, will be held at Rimini Expo Centre between January 19 and 23, 2019. The event will comprise a host of great events and fine-tuned means for promoting business worldwide.

The SIGEP platform is currently operating, enabling exhibitors to book meetings with foreign buyers.

Moreover, thanks to the participation of ITA (Italian Trade Agency) trade analysts from 10 nations (two areas for the United States, plus Canada, China, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Iran, Vietnam and Jordan), desks will be available for in-depth coverage of issues useful for developing business in the areas in question. ITA has also prepared market researches on the 10 countries selected with IEG. Besides this, there will also be a project with Agenti 321, for a search for business reps with a focus on Germany.
There is also a high international profile as far as events are concerned. For the first time, SIGEP is hosting the World Coffee Roasting Championship, the travelling international competition that rewards coffee roasting excellence.

The World Coffee Roasting Championship will be held in Hall D3, with the contests being held between January 20 and 23. Contestants will be judged on the basis of their performance, evaluation of the quality of the green coffee (coffee grading), developing a roasting plan that best highlights the desirable characteristics of that coffee and the last cup of roasted coffee.
In the countries that are participating, selections are currently being held, which will be valid for access to the World Championship.
