The IPA World Congress + Probiota 2025 is two months away! The three-day conference is the leading event for the probiotics, prebiotics, and microbiome community, and here’s why…

1. Content, content, content: We’ve put together a stellar program for this year’s event. Key sessions will cover the first postbiotics, longevity and healthspan, the pantryome, bioinformatics, the gut-brain axis, next-gen probiotics, microbiome modulation for athletic performance, the state of the market and much more!

2. Our speakers: Having great topics is only half of the story. Gathering the leading experts and brands in the world to discuss them is just as important. Just check out the affiliations for our speakers, and you’ll know these represent the best in class: Ani Biome, Nestlé, minutia.ai, Lawson Health Research Institute, CPG Radar, Institute of Systems Biology, University of Milan, University College Cork/ APC Microbiome Ireland, ETH Zurich, Myota, Humanitas University, Orebro University, Catholic University of Murcia, Lumina Intelligence, Increnovo, dsm-firmenich, IFF Health Sciences, Kerry, Novonesis, Morinaga, ADM, Biogrowing Probiotics and more.

3. The balance: Probiota bridges the world of science and business, providing a 360° view of the category. The content goes deep and wide: The breadth of our content gives every attendee a higher-level view of the issues, while our experts will also take attendees down rabbit holes for an in-depth understanding of the topics.

According to our post-event survey for Probiota 2024, 95% of attendees rated the summit as Excellent or Good, and 93% said they would recommend it.

Here’s just a sample of the feedback from delegates after our 2024 event in Milan:

“An excellent blend of inspiring talks and panels with ample opportunity to network over a roundtable, posters and reception evenings.”

“An outstanding event showcasing the latest science and market trends with the perfect amount of networking opportunities.”

“Another year, another fantastic evening! I continue to be impressed with the caliber of presenters and attendees, and leave feeling energized about the future of our industry.”

4. The community: NutraIngredients has been bringing you Probiota for over a decade, and the 2022 and 2023 events in Copenhagen and Barcelona sold out. We moved our 2024 event to a larger venue and welcomed over 520 attendees from 42 countries.

Since 2016, our partnership with the International Probiotics Association, the Global Voice of pre-, pro- and post- biotics, has strengthened the connection with the key stakeholders in the category. The combination of NutraIngredients’s audience and IPA’s membership makes for a powerful community that you should join!

“Great program with new science and market insights!” said one attendee in Milan in 2024. “We enjoyed the friendly and collaborative environment and the opportunity to be close to customers and partners in this setup. It really brings the industry together.”

For 2025, we’ve extended our content program and our networking breaks to give attendees more of what they love.

5. Scientific Frontiers: A mainstay of the event for many years, our Scientific Frontiers showcases cutting edge microbiome science and innovations from researchers from academia and industry. For 2025, we again have two categories: Industry research or student-led research projects (open to PhD students).

Thoroughly reviewed by our Scientific Committee, the breaking science is presented as posters, while winning submission will present their research in more detail from the stage.

6. Probiota Pioneers: All attendees will also have the chance to meet and network with some of the most exciting start-ups in the microbiome modulation space, with our Pioneers Hub at the event and during our dedicated start-up focus session during the program. The 2025 Pioneers are: Alba Health, Migalis ApS and Perseus Biomics.

7. Our Wellness Program: At NutraIngredients, we want to ensure all our delegates are in the best place physically and mentally while attending the event, and our Wellness Program aims to help you take care of both your body and mind during the IPA World Congress + Probiota 2025.

Day 2 of the event kicks off with a run/walk sponsored by Novonesis to get the blood pumping and to clear the mind!
