Emerald Expands Portfolio with Acquisition of Plant Based World Expo​

expanding its portfolio with a leading B2B trade show focused on the fast-growing plant-based ecosystem. This move comes as global interest in sustainable, health-conscious food rises, with the plant-based sector projected to hit $113 billion by 2031, according to a May 2024 Meticulous Research report.

Founded in 2019, PBW quickly gained traction among manufacturers, investors, service providers, and retail and foodservice buyers. Its recent editions in London and New York City welcomed over 5,000 attendees, many of whom leveraged the platform to send multiple calendar invites and coordinate strategic meetings. Joel Davis, CEO of JD Events, noted that PBW had outgrown its original framework, making the acquisition by Emerald a timely and beneficial move.

Emerald aims to provide PBW with the infrastructure and support to scale globally. The next PBW North America will take place December 2–3, 2025, at NYC’s Javits Center, followed by the European edition on November 26–27 at ExCeL London. Organizers are expected to streamline attendee communications with multiple calendar invites and expanded networking tools.
