Mr Tan Kai Hoe, Chief Executive, SPRING Singapore is the Guest-of-Honour for the official launch ceremony of Café Asia 2015, International Coffee & Tea Industry Expo 2015 (ICT Expo 2015), Sweets & Bakes Asia 2015 and the Gelato World Tour 2.0 (GWT 2.0). I will cover Gelato World Tour 2.0 in my next post.
Café Asia 2015 has established itself as Southeast Asia’s trade and consumer event dedicated to the region’s café and teahouse communities. It brings together café and teashop owners, managers, importers, exporters, distributors and suppliers of machinery, equipment, and raw materials. It is a dynamic B2B platform for the sourcing and buying needs of key decision makers and for them to explore new opportunities for collaboration.
Concurrently, ICT Expo 2015 serves as a springboard for local and international industry players to tap into Asia’s huge market potential, and for them to gain in-depth insight of the latest market trends and developments. The platform also offers them opportunities to raise brand awareness and to forge strategic business contacts among key suppliers, industry buyers and exhibitors.
The coffee industry in Singapore and the region, is witnessing a demand for the production of high-quality coffee where coffee is regarded as an artisanal foodstuff like wine, and not just a commodity. In tandem with the heightened culinary appreciation of coffee, improvements are required at all stages of production, from coffee plant growing to harvesting, processing to higher quality and fresh roasting. The industry also recognises the importance of fostering stronger relationships between coffee growers, traders and roasters.
The show comprises of fun-filled activities on everything coffee, tea and bakery including exclusive workshops, classes, and demonstrations of the latest technologies, trends and techniques. I had the opportunity to be guided around and visited some of the exhibits..
