What does the Girona Gastronomical Forum offer?
A forum full of people, companies and activities to discover. Barcelona Export visited the event to find food companies interested in exporting their products and was able to confirm the high gastronomic quality of our region. Participation has increased by more than 30% since the 2015 edition, with more than 25,000 visitors.
What was its outcome?
We appreciated the satisfaction of the exhibitors, like the former and loyal participants who are exhibiting at the Forum year after year, as well as newcomers who for the first time wanted to participate on the event, which has been considered as a great form of promotional platform.
International Opportunities of the Forum
Companies have also been able to do business and conclude many commercial transactions, especially at the international level, thanks to the reverse missions in which buyers from the Nordic countries were interested in the products present at the Forum.
