Berlin Food Affair 2025

Successful Debut

On March 3, 2025, the Berlin Food Affair celebrated its premiere—a B2B trade fair bringing together top-level producers and restaurateurs. Launched by Havelland Express, eat!Berlin, and freakstotable, the event provided a platform for direct exchange between high-quality food producers, top chefs, and leading players in the gastronomy industry.

The venue was Kalle Neukölln, a former department store currently being transformed into a versatile creative and commercial center. For the Berlin Food Affair, the impressive hall was brought to life with a carefully designed lighting concept and atmospheric food photography—creating the perfect setting for encounters and culinary experiences.

Inspiration. Networking. Statement.

Around 850 guests accepted the invitation and experienced a day full of inspiration, tastings, and valuable connections. Mr. Kunzmann, Managing Director of Havelland Express, sums it up perfectly:

“The right mix of high-quality producers, amazing chefs, and dishes, combined with very interested and valuable guests, made a clear statement.”

With this successful first edition, the Berlin Food Affair has laid a promising foundation—and will continue to provide space for inspiring encounters and industry exchange in the future.

Program Highlights

The Berlin Food Affair offered a diverse program with exciting panel discussions, lectures, and networking opportunities. Moderated by Jens Herrmann and Patrice Bouédibéla, key industry topics were discussed—from economic success in gastronomy to the importance of sustainable manufactories, as well as Berlin's role as a culinary trendsetting city. Renowned experts such as Markus Herbicht, Philipp Vogel, and Björn Moschinski shared valuable insights, while the freakstotable team presented their vision for a more sustainable food industry. The day was rounded off with a relaxed Come Together featuring DJ sounds, followed by an exclusive Secret Celebration with an open bar.
