Rimini, XX December 2023 . The 45th edition of Sigep - the Dolce World Expo (Rimini Expo Centre, 20-24 January), will also largely feature Bakery. A section that represents a fascinating combination of technological innovation and artisan tradition, it will offer the chance to showcase new trends linked to the bakery business, from the latest production and consumption ideas to new venue formats, as well as marketing concepts. The core of this section will be bread, pizza and focaccia, whose creation requires a careful selection of raw materials such as flours, yeasts and much more, as well as the best technologies and equipment.

Conferences in Vision Plaza:
Three important conferences on bakery are scheduled in Vision Plaza. On Sunday 21st, Aibi (Italian Bakery Ingredients Association) will be presenting new consumer behaviour and trends in the world of bread, pizza and pastry under the title ´The art of baking and its surroundings´. On Monday 22nd, Ceoppan (Confederación Española de Panadería, Pastelería, Bollería y Afines) will analyse all the sector´s main European data in a conference entitled ´An update from the European craft & traditional bakers and confectioners´: companies, employees, consumption, consequences of the pandemic, inflation and above all future trends. Lastly, on Tuesday 23rd, Fippa (Italian Federation of Bakers and Pastry Chefs), in partnership with Cebp (European Confederation of National Bakery and Pastry Organisations), will be presenting an analysis on the comparison between bakery and pastry in Southern Europe with the participation of important speakers: Eduardo Villar (president of Spanish bakers and vice-president of Uibc, World Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs); Marios Papadopulos (president of Greek pastry chefs and vice-president of Cebp) and Josè Maria Fernandez del Vallado, secretary general of both organisations.

the main event in the Bakery Arena (Hall D7) will be Young Ideas, the competition aimed at baking talents from Italian hotel and catering schools and professional training organisations, who will have the chance to compete and be judged by expert bakers, thus developing new skills through encounters with professionals and by experimenting innovative technologies. In the 2024 edition, the young talents will undergo 5 tests: ciabatta bread, a bread of their choice, small loaves, Viennese pastries and an art piece under the theme Guglielmo Marconi: 150 years since his birth.

Demos and show cooking of an international nature will also be featured with the participation of delegations from China, Peru and Switzerland, three true excellences among the bakery schools charged with organising the selections for the ÔBread in the City 2025´ world championship, an event promoted by Richemont Club Italy and Richemont Club International.
