GELATO WORLD CUP

The Gelato World Cup returns to SIGEP WORLD 2026, the world's most prestigious international team competition for gelato, pastry, and fine dining. This biennial event represents the absolute pinnacle of the sector, offering the best talents from every continent a unique opportunity for comparison, growth, and international visibility.

The event, now in its 11th edition, will see 12 nations – Argentina, Belgium, China, Ecuador, France, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Poland and Singapore – compete in the Gelato Arena (Hall A7) in tests of the highest technical and creative level.

Their participation is the result of a long selection process carried out over the past two years worldwide, with the aim of identifying the most prepared and innovative professionals in the international scene.

The finalist teams have earned their place by overcoming the official selection stages: from the Gelato Europe Cup at SIGEP World 2025, to SIGEP China 2025, including the qualification events in South America and Singapore, which involved hundreds of professionals in a global challenge in the name of excellence.
