iMEAT 2025 will open its doors at ModenaFiere from March 23 to 25 and will be open to the professional public. Since 2013, the date of the first exhibition, the event has become an international attraction by expanding interests and proposal. The event is the only one in Italy that combines meat with all technologies, equipment, trends and methods of professional grill cooking, from electric to fire.
Luca Codato, the fair’s patron, recalled, Today more than ever, in a constantly evolving society, it is important to build solid foundations and to be able to plan the career path equipped with the right tools and the necessary knowledge. The iera fair aims to be the tool to provide these foundations by connecting butchery and delicatessen stores, specialty restaurants, meat processing industries, and small to medium-sized artisan companies of excellence with each other and with suppliers of all dedicated commodities, always from a business-to-business perspective.”
