On Thursday, July 4, the first edition of the FoodService Night was held with the presentation of the awards of this food cluster on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its creation.

The emblematic event organized by the FoodService Cluster (CFS) was held at the Institute of Ocular Microsurgery (IMO) in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi in Barcelona, bringing together 300 people from the food sector, including companies, research and innovation groups and leading public institutions, as well as companies from the entire value chain of the FoodService sector.

The gala was attended by the president of the CFS, Judith Viader, who, in reliving the 10-year history of the institution, stressed that “they have been key to promoting the competitiveness and improvement of the companies that are part of the Cluster, together with the public institutions that support us, especially ACCIÓ of the Generalitat de Catalunya. It has been 10 years in which we have not stopped growing, from 16 associates in 2014 to 115 in 2024. We are a benchmark in a sector that in Catalonia moves 24,000 million euros, which represents 9% of the Catalan GDP.”
