This post is an informative coverage of the event with editorial & reportage elements that do not aim to promote any business, organisation, product or service.
Today - on the day of publication- I am a member of Ruokatoimittajat ry (Finnish Food Writers' Association).
11 April 2025 - helsinki
I arrived at Messukeskus right before the doors opened at 10:00, armed with a camera, a fully charged phone, and one mission: to meet as many exhibitors as possible before the lights went out at 19:00. No time for slow strolls or second rounds - just nine hours to uncover the freshest product launches, boldest brand stories, and standout bites of Ruokamessut - Helsinki’s buzzing food expo.
The atmosphere was electric from the first minute. Crowds shuffled in with big appetites, but I was chasing something else - good conversations. I jumped from stand to stand, introducing myself and my mission -asking what’s new, what’s special, and what each brand was most proud to present to this year’s visitors.
Some offered a taste before a word, others launched straight into passionate stories behind their products.
Each exhibitor had something different to say and serve. A new, innovative protein source aiming to conquer the market. Enthusiastic authors whose locally distilled spirits reflect their love for great books. A family-run farm with a noble goal to keep the indigenous black oat tradition alive. I tasted, I listened, I scribbled - and occasionally I nodded with my mouth full.
By the end of the day, my camera roll was packed, my mind buzzing with insights, and my bag overflowing with brochures, business cards, and small tasting samples. This article is your shortcut to what’s new, exciting, and worth watching—straight from the expo floor, one passionate exhibitor at a time.
TIP: If you are looking for a specific brand, simply use the search function (or the ctrl/cmd + F shortcut) in your browser and type in your keyword(s).
