What is Wabel?

B2B matchmaking designed for the FMCG industry

Wabel connects retail buyers, distributors, importers and sourcing
professionals with selected FMCG suppliers through category-focused
summits and curated one-to-one meetings.

Rather than relying on spontaneous conversations at a traditional
trade show, participating companies receive a structured business
experience centred on relevant buyer access and pre-scheduled meetings.

Each supplier is assessed according to its product offer, export
readiness, target markets and potential fit with participating buyers.
