Big returns for new companies.
Innovation Avenue exhibitors are start-up manufacturers with limited resources launching a new, innovative confectionery or snack product to the industry – companies looking to make a splash with retailers or introduce their products to distributors, investors and media. To exhibit in the Innovation Avenue, a participant must be a start-up company (in business two years or less) with a limited budget and new to the confectionery or snack industry and trade shows with an innovative product not yet seen by the majority of retailers.
