TrendLAB

Two worlds. One reality.

Welcome to the beating heart of innovation at Horecava 2026. At TrendLAB, you will discover what happens when two seemingly contradictory forces come together: the power of pure hospitality and sensory experience, and the drive for speed, smart systems, and efficiency. Not a contradiction, but the future of foodservice.

In a world where time is scarce and meaning is becoming increasingly important, TrendLAB helps you make the right choices: What do you let go of? What do you hold on to? And how do you make more impact with less hassle?

Discover concrete innovations, tangible stories, and stimulating ideas that take you on a journey through the transformation of the hospitality industry. From live cooking to data-driven dark kitchens and inspiring Table Talks, each part of TrendLAB brings a different facet of the future to life.
