The forum hosts the InnoForum Awards, the Josep Mercader Awards, The Baker award for excellence in baking, the Cuiner award for emerging chefs and an award for Spain's best artisan panettone. A B2B event for kitchens, restaurants, distributors and culinary press: entry is exclusively for industry professionals.
