Attendees came from 59 countries and every continent was represented. Global industry executives from the animal feed processing, grain processing, ingredients and additives, aquafeed, pet food and biomass pelleting industries participated in networking, business match-making and gathering new industry knowledge during the event.

The matchmaking program consisted of a combination of an online tool, which allowed exhibitors and visitors to plan their appointments and a personal approach by Victam matchmaking consultants before and during the event and added between 10% to 20% meetings to everyone’s schedule, Victam said.

Another new feature that was introduced during this event was the Victam newsroom. Speakers, visitors and exhibitors were interviewed about their expertise. The news crew also made running reports about the events through Victam’s social media channels.

FVG Select was held at the KoelnMesse exhibition center, June 13-14, with 55 exhibitors.

FVG Select is an additional event to the large exhibitions and conferences in Cologne and Bangkok. The business match-making program and the newsroom also will be introduced during Victam Asia 2018 and Victam International 2019.

The next event organized by Victam International BV is VICTAM Asia from March 27-29, 2018 in Bangkok, Thailand. VICTAM International will be organized from June 12-14, 2019, in Cologne, Germany.
