Aspiring business owners often have the biggest and boldest ideas but these big dreams are often challenged by feasibility and finding suppliers who can turn those plans into reality. This is where events like ProPak Philippines step in, offering a platform for entrepreneurs to connect with suppliers and explore innovative solutions to kickstart their ventures. Starting today (January 31) until February 2, 2024, at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in Pasay City, ProPak Philippines 2024 is poised to be the country’s largest international trade event, welcoming over 200 local and international companies and an estimated 10,000 attendees over the course of the three-day exhibition.

This year’s edition of ProPak Philippines promises to surpass the scale of previous shows, particularly the 2020 event that preceded the global pandemic. With a focus on facilitating connections between international suppliers and local and regional buyers, the event aims to showcase the latest innovations and sustainable solutions across various industries, including food and beverage, manufacturing, and retail.

“The 4^th ProPak Philippines edition will focus on providing micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) with exposure and knowledge about the latest technology and innovations in packaging,” said Rungphech ‘Rose’ Chitanuwat, Country General Manager of Informa Markets in the Philippines, the organizer of ProPak Philippines.

THINGS TO EXPECT:

Workshops, Seminars, and Conferences

In the next three days, over 40 workshops, seminars, and conferences with topics ranging from sustainability and circular packaging to trends and challenges in packaging for the year will be held in different spots around World Trade Center. Mini-training courses on sustainable packaging design guidelines and green innovations will also be available, catering to the evolving needs of businesses striving for eco-friendly solutions.

Sustainability on the Spotlight

One of the highlights of the event is the Sustainability Square — an interactive exhibitor zone dedicated to educating visitors about sustainable practices in the packaging industry. Exhibitors will showcase recycled and sustainable materials, and Sustainable Booth Design Awards will be conferred to recognize creativity and resourcefulness among participants. Furthermore, ProPak Philippines is committed to sustainability in its operations, with LED walls and projectors replacing traditional backdrops in seminar rooms, and QR codes facilitating onsite registrations and surveys to minimize paper usage.

Packaging Solutions on Exhibit

Whether you need large-scale machinery for food packaging needs or compact equipment for beauty and skincare products, the exhibition floor offers a vast selection of the latest innovations in the packaging industry. There are over 200 local and international companies in the venue so expect a lot of new connections during your short visit!
