With our Meet The Buyer and Meet The Investor features, we are building on GICA’s reputation as an ‘accelerator’ for the industry, and opening up new doors for innovative and forward-thinking suppliers, retailers and investors”.

GICA 2020 is invitation-only and is expected to welcome over 200 attendees from 25 countries, including FMCG manufacturers, industry experts, retail buyers and investors.
