Every year, IPA organizes an Innovation Competition in order to award the technological excellence of the machines, equipment and solutions of its exhibitors.

IPA was inspired by the eco-friendly Le Sojami plant in its decision to present its “Tomorrow’s Food Factory” during the exhibition.

In our interview Le Sojami manager Jean-James Garreau speaks of his “sustainable experiment.”

IPA provides answer to food industries issues through its special events on innovation, industrial performance and sustainable development.

The keynote of this event will be novelty: We have succeeded in gathering three major shows IPA, In-food and SIAL to cover processes, ingredients, semi-processed foodstuffs, and finished products.

The next edition of IPA, the World Food Process Exhibition, will be held from October 21-25, 2012 at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center, with special focus on eco-friendly production! Our aim is to present a full scale pilot plant in which processing stages are studied under conditions simulating a full production unit.

IPA : Tomorrow’s Factory Today. The 2012 IPA exhibition  will give pride of place to eco-responsible production.

Energy saving in food industry processes: cost-quality optimization – not an easy balance to maintain. At IPA scientists from INRA (French national institute for agricultural research) will be presenting their research carried out on the balance between energy savings and quality.
