Blas Cymru / Taste Wales 2021
Following on from the huge success of the 2017 and 2019 events, BlasCymru/TasteWales 2021 was held for the first time at the new International Conference Centre Wales (ICCW), Newport (10-11 March 2021).
The theme of the 2021 event was ‘Food and Drink for Future Generations’. Despite the event being impacted by the Covid pandemic, more than 100 food and drink businesses from Wales took part and 200 trade buyers were in attendance, including most of the major retailers and key foodservice and hospitality trade partners, as well as UK-based international dignitaries.
In total, 1,695 Covid-secure meetings, including virtual discussions, took place as part of the "Meet the Buyer" brokerage between trade buyers and Welsh food and drink businesses, which generated £16m in new deals.
