SIGEP World was proud to take part in “Un’alleanza per il pane”, a meaningful initiative focused on protecting and relaunching bread as a symbol of the Mediterranean diet.
Held at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, the event opened with institutional remarks by Chief of Staff Federico Eichberg, followed by Palmino Poli, President of ASSITOL.
Our Global Exhibition Director Food & Beverage Division, Ilaria Cicero, joined a panel of key voices including Daniele Meldolesi (ASSITOL), Giancarlo Ceccolini (Federazione Italiana Panificatori Pasticcieri e Affini- FIPPA) Mario Porrone (Fiesa Assopanificatori), Concita De Luca (InCibum), Alberto Molinari (AIBI), Antonio Tassone (Assipan ) and Adriano Albanesi (Richemont Club Italia), highlighting the importance of collaboration and education in driving change.
As Community Catalyst, we don’t just support alliances — we actively build them. Through our global platform and initiatives like SIGEP Meets the World, we connect different operators, promoting culture, relationships and business across borders, where tradition meets innovation.
Bread is more than a product: it tells stories of craftsmanship, culture and identity. Italy, with the highest variety of bread in the world, represents a unique heritage recognized globally — a value we promote internationally also through our long-standing collaboration with ICE – Italian Trade Agency.
At SIGEP World in Rimini, the entire supply chain comes together — from ingredients to technologies — with master bakers as true protagonists, also celebrated through competitions like Bread in the City.
