Xtend2 was contracted as an international consultant by Switzerland Global Enterprise to work on their Swiss Import Promotion Programme [SIPPO] at BIOFACH, the world's leading trade fair for organic food. This was the third year running that Xtend2 has worked on the SIPPO programme at Biofach.

Without exception this year was another success with companies from Indonesia, South Africa, Egypt and Peru partaking in the last SIPPO Food Ingredients programme. There was lots of activity at the SIPPO stand with many visitors and plenty of pre-arranged B2B meetings. Communication and teamwork between the consultants and exhibiting companies was excellent and there was a great atmosphere on the stand throughout the four days.
