The Life Sciences Ingredients 2025 Fair stands out as an important platform bringing together professionals from the pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, personal care and home care sectors. The visitor profile consists of senior executives from manufacturing companies, R&D, quality, procurement, production, marketing and sales teams, as well as academics, consultants, industry associations and press representatives. With its broad range of sectors, the fair provides an ideal environment for information sharing and collaboration.

Pharmaist Supported by TİYSAT and FECC Enhances the Sector's Global Perspective
This year, Pharmaist 2025 (Pharmaceutical Ingredients Fair), which will be held under the Life Sciences umbrella on the same dates, plays a strategic role for the future of the sector. Among the strategic partners of the fair, supported by the European Chemical Distributors Federation (FECC), are the Association of Chemists and the Chemistry Engineering Chamber. TİYSAT (Technology, Pharmaceutical and Domestic Industry Community), which was established to support the development of the pharmaceutical supply industry, is drawing attention by participating in the fair for the first time this year.

The association is working to make the pharmaceutical industry, just like the defence industry, one of Turkey's important export items. The 6th International Food & Nutritional Ingredients (FNI) Fair, one of the most prestigious gatherings in the food and nutrition components sector, serves as a platform for showcasing the latest products and technologies, bringing together domestic and foreign professionals. This year's FNI Fair, realised with the support of TÜGİDER (All Food Foreign Trade Association), serves as an important showcase for companies that shape the sector. Both fairs support not only commercial collaborations but also the creation of business networks that will develop the global vision of the sectors.

FNI FEST 2025 Will Turn the Future of Taste into a Festival
At FNI FEST, the sector's most innovative event to be implemented within the scope of the Food & Nutritional Ingredients 2025 Fair under the Life Sciences umbrella, companies will showcase their newest technology solutions. Participating companies will give visitors the opportunity to experience food and beverages containing the solutions they have developed through interactive and entertaining workshops.

At the Food & Nutritional Ingredients 2025 Fair, an area will be set up where academic units working or providing services in life sciences sectors will participate, bringing together the sector and academia.

International Vision Through Strategic Institutional Support
The cosmetics and home care products sector in Turkey is showing steady growth. Particularly thanks to its proximity to Iran and Middle East markets, Turkey's export capacity to these regions is increasing, and the fair plays an important role in companies establishing new business connections. The 7th International Cosmetics & Home Care Ingredients Fair, the most comprehensive fair in Turkey in the field of cosmetics, personal care, detergent and home care product components, offers opportunities for domestic and foreign companies to pursue strategic collaboration and enter new markets.

At the fair, participants will have the opportunity to experience interactive experience areas where they can hit targets with entertaining games and win cosmetic products. In the Fragrance & Taste Workshop, essence manufacturers will organise fragrance and perfume-themed workshops. This year, the fair will receive support from valuable institutions such as KÜAD, KOZDER and FECC, while the Association of Chemists and the Chemistry Engineering Chamber will also take part as strategic partners in the event.
