SANA, 35TH EDITION: INTERNATIONAL, B2B AND TRENDY
IN BOLOGNAFIERE, FROM 7TH TO 10TH SEPTEMBER 2023

In 2023, SANA, the International Exhibition of Organic and Natural Products, turns 35 years old in a strictly B2B version, aiming to welcome only an audience of professionals and buyers of the sector. The change of pace is already in the opening dates, differently structured to meet the needs of visiting operators. In fact, SANA ORGANIC&NATURAL FOOD will take place from Thursday 7th to Saturday 9th of September, one day less than the SANA CARE & BEAUTY and SANA GREEN LIFESTYLE areas which will be open from Thursday 7th to Sunday 10th of September.

Organised by BolognaFiere in cooperation with FederBio, AssoBio and Cosmetica Italia, SANA 2023 is the leading international trade fair for the organic and natural sector in Italy and, thanks to its collaboration with a wide international network and ITA – Italian Trade Agency, is increasingly expanding its reach abroad.

THEMATIC AREAS
SANA ORGANIC&NATURAL FOOD, the exhibition area for organic and natural agri-food, will introduce a space dedicated to the “plant based” Veg world, created in collaboration with V-Label, and another area dedicated to healthy eating, giving visibility to products for people who are allergic, intolerant or sensitive to the wholesomeness of food consumption, with free from and reach in products.
The Breakfast area and the Aperitif area (in partnership with Slow Food) are confirmed, with the presentation of innovative and quality products designed for these specific occasions.
SANA CARE & BEAUTY, the showcase of products and cosmetics for natural and organic body care, supplements and medicinal herbs, and SANA GREEN LIFESTYLE, with solutions and services for a sustainable everyday life, will expand and complete the exhibition proposal.

SPECIAL PROJECT
The VIA DELLE ERBE is back with workshops and insights for herbal professionals and an exhibition on White Herbs.
SANATECH, the exhibiting area that completes the entire sector supply chain, the ideal space for all players to present the main solutions and innovations for the organic process, from the raw material to the finished product, is confirmed. SANA NOVITÀ (Novelty Area) also returns with the exhibition dedicated to the exhibitors’ new products.
What’s ‘New on SANA’ is a special exhibition area that will turn the spotlight on start-ups and young companies in all sectors of SANA.

HIGH-LEVEL MEETINGS AND DEBATES
SANA 2023 will be opened by the Organic States General with “Rivoluzione Bio”. The Overview of the Organic Sector is promoted by BolognaFiere, in collaboration with FederBio and AssoBio– as part of the BEING ORGANIC IN EU project managed by FederBio in partnership with Naturland DE and co-financed by the EU under EU Reg. n.1144/2014 – and promoted with the organisational secretariat of Nomisma. The event will also host the presentation of the SANA Survey compiled with the support of ITA.

Starting this year, the entire scientific part of SANA 2023 will enhance the skills and experience of women; so, female and male speakers of the SANA conferences and workshops will be on stage in equal numbers, because culture, at SANA, has no gender.
