Fruit Logistica 2026 is sending a clear signal for innovation: the New Product Showcases are a new format that puts selected new products in the spotlight.
In a central, curated special area, the leading trade show for the global fresh produce business will present eleven groundbreaking innovations from the Fresh Produce, Machinery & Technology and Logistics segments.
“The industry is developing rapidly, and that’s precisely what we’re showcasing with the New Product Showcases,” said David Ruetz, senior vice president at Messe Berlin.
“This new format brings innovations to the heart of the trade show, where they will have the greatest impact on international decision-makers.”
Eleven innovations. One stage. Maximum attention.
The New Product Showcases bring together a range of new products from across the entire value-added chain, including new varieties, intelligent technologies, sustainable packaging, and logistics solutions.
These are the New Product Showcases for 2026:
