ZDS - Sweet Tec Congress

The German sugar confectionery ­industry will gather on October 26th and 27th, 2016 once again for the annual Sweet Tec Congress. This respected international confectionery congress is held each year in late ­October at the Central College of ­the German Confectionery Industry (ZDS) in Solingen-Gräfrath.
The prime focus at this year’s congress under the motto ”Confectionery goes global” will be on developments on the international market and the subsequent consequences for products and sales channels.
The Sweet Tec events leading up to this year’s congress which concentrated on ”Medicated Sweets” have demonstrated the trend toward continuing globalisation for raw materials and sales markets. It is therefore little wonder that this year’s Sweet Tec gathering picks up precisely on this topic and illustrates it from a variety ­of different perspectives.
The two-day congress will feature some­ 20 speakers in the following topical blocks discussing the latest trends and developments on the sweets­ market:
• The international sweets market
• Trends in the sweets industry
• The raw material sugar in an international context
• TTIP: Effects on the confectionary industry
• Process technology in the sweets industry
• Fondant – Rediscovery of a tried-&-proven product
• Challenges in international business

In light of the controversial public discussion associated with the topic, ­a high level of interest is anticipated in particular for the TTIP block which will highlight both the American and the European positions on the issue.
