Bord Bia’s annual foodservice seminar is taking place at the Aviva stadium, Dublin on Wednesday, 8th November. The event will comprise a half day plenary session, kicking off at 10:30AM and finishing at 2:45PM.
Bord Bia Research
Bord Bia will be publishing a new piece of research quantifying the size of the Irish foodservice market (North & South) and projected potential future developments. The report will also deliver a strong understanding of market dynamics within each channel, examining the likely direction of these channels and the implications of this in terms of product and service requirements. It will build on our 2016 Irish Foodservice Channel Insights report.
