About the Organizers

Organized in cooperation with the Chocolate Festival Foundation, CHOCOA is dedicated to creating a world with more sustainable cocoa—the foundation for better chocolate. We envision a world where cocoa production benefits farmers, their communities, and the environment: A world in which high-quality chocolate is accessible to environmentally conscious consumers everywhere.

With this mission, CHOCOA launched in 2012. Our goal has remained constant: Together, we drive progress in sustainability and raise consumer awareness to grow the markets for sustainable cocoa and chocolate. 

Chocoa events have grown significantly over the past 13 years and we would like to reach out and create partnerships to increase our impact. There are many ways to collaborate, please take a look at our Partners page. (Link below.)

Options range from booths at the trade fair and/or the festival, preferred supplier for culinary masterclasses, rooms for dedicated sessions for customers, tables at the Grand Diner du Chocolat, visibility during Chocoa sessions, the Amsterdam Cocoa Week Reception, in publications and more.
