Euro Marketing Showcases Barista Talent and Global Brands at FHAM 2026

Euro Marketing is bringing coffee and mocktail competitions alongside international beverage brands to Food & Hospitality Asia Maldives (FHAM) 2026, taking place from 7–9 September at Manhattan Grand Hotel in Hulhumalé.

A key feature of the company’s participation is the Lavazza Barista Challenge Maldives 2026 National Finals, scheduled for 9 September from 10am. Ten baristas who advanced through the qualifier round will compete, demonstrating their coffee knowledge, technical skills, creativity and precision.

The winner will have the opportunity to advance to the international stage in Turin, Italy, in April 2027. The competition provides a national platform for baristas to showcase their abilities and pursue an opportunity to represent the Maldives internationally.

Euro Marketing is also holding the 1883 Mocktail Competition on 8 September from 10am. A total of 30 participants will compete across two rounds, with 15 participants in each round. The competition will focus on creativity, presentation and innovation in alcohol-free beverages, using products from French beverage brand 1883.

Alongside the competitions, the company is showcasing products from its international food and beverage portfolio, with sampling activities available throughout the exhibition.

Among the featured brands is Acqua Filette, an Italian mineral water available through Euro Store in still and sparkling varieties. Sourced from a spring in Guarcino in Italy’s Lazio Apennines, the brand uses glass and aluminium packaging instead of single-use plastic.

Visitors can also sample Lavazza Tales of Italy, a coffee collection inspired by Italy’s regional coffee traditions.

Euro Marketing’s participation combines product displays with opportunities for hospitality professionals to demonstrate their skills and connect with industry peers. The company is exhibiting at stalls D10 and D11 for the duration of FHAM 2026.
