In collaboration with

logo ICEX


Buyers participating in the Hosted Buyers Program -a programme that counts with the collaboration of ICEX España Exportaciones e Inversiones and MAPA within the framework of the Spain Food Nation agreement- find interesting products every year during their visit to Salón Gourmets. Our SG Matchmaking web application ensures that meetings with exhibitors registered in the Business Center are generated based on the specific commercial needs of each buyer, achieving more relevant and efficient meetings for the company.


Who qualifies as a hosted buyer?

If you are a senior level decision maker in a company at the fine food and beverages sector with a high volume of imports and no head office in Spain, you may be eligible to attend Salon Gourmets as a Hosted Buyer.
