Upcoming Trade Shows Stockholm, Sweden for Food & Drink

In Stockholm, Foodtech has graduated from being a mere catchphrase to a movement that’s been picking up momentum over the last decade. Foodtech has woven itself seamlessly into the fabric of locally grown produce and innovative farming practices, which have come to define the food and drinks industry in Stockholm. Technology is revolutionizing the way food is cultivated and produced, giving rise to trends that redefine the culinary experience in the city. One notable trend is the surge of vertical farming, a technique where food is cultivated in vertically stacked layers, often within indoor environments. Grönska, a Stockholm-based company, exemplifies this trend by growing vegetables in an old heating station in Hammarbyhöjden. The company was initially founded in 2014 by Petter Olsson, Robin Lee and Natalie de Brun. Using scalable and space-efficient methods, they cultivate vegetables and herbs in shelf systems with LED lighting and hydroponic watering systems, which demand little in terms of resources. Right now, Grönska is expanding its growing facility in Hammarbyhöjden. Their venture into industrial-scale vertical farming marks a significant step in the larger adoption of sustainable and efficient food production practices. Another player on the scene is Easy Urban Gardening AB, a research and development company eyeing commercialization. Partnering with Seedrs.com, a London-based crowdfunding platform, they seek investors after passing a comprehensive due diligence process. Urban Oasis takes a different route, turning to the underground of Liljeholmen to produce microgreens, which it later supplies to local hotels and restaurants. In the realm of convenient dining experiences, Foodiebag emerges as an innovative mobile take-away app, providing customers the flexibility to order, prepay, and pick up food at their convenience. The app not only simplifies everyday life but also transforms take-away into a leisurely experience, freeing consumers to savor high-quality cuisine from renowned restaurants.
