IFAT Munich is the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies – a place where solutions for water, wastewater, waste, recycling and the circular economy become concrete and applicable. International bidders and decision-makers gather in Munich to compare and improve infrastructure, processes and technologies for climate resilience, more efficient use of resources and digitalization. The focus is, among other things, smart solutions for water and sewage, modern rainwater and flood management, as well as efficient recycling and waste management systems. In short: if you want to plan, buy or scale sustainable infrastructure – you are in the right place here.
For exhibitors – the most important things in brief
As an exhibitor, you gain global visibility at the world’s top trade fairs, with a strong professional audience and a high proportion of visitors in decision-making positions. The numbers speak for themselves: 3,211 exhibitors (from 61 countries) and 142,000 visitors (from 170 countries). You meet the audience in clearly defined thematic units – and you can highlight innovations not only at the stand, but also through the program and guided “Solution Tours” tours. If you offer solutions with a measurable benefit, IFAT is a great platform to quickly turn attention into quality leads.
For visitors – why it’s worth it
As a visitor, you get a quick and clear overview of the market: technologies and companies in the field of water supply and wastewater, municipal technology, as well as waste and recycling solutions. You can see the products and machines live (live demo), and save time through “Solution Tours” tours that take you to relevant exhibitors. In addition, the program provides a practical orientation on trends, requirements and ways of implementation – ideal to confirm decisions and accelerate projects.
Accompanying program – what you need to remember
The accompanying program turns IFAT into a “live update” of the entire industry: themed stages, spotlight zones, guided tours and live formats quickly bring the essence to you. The “Blue Stage” covers the topics of water, the “Orange Stage” the circular economy/waste, and the “Green Stage” brings concrete exhibition solutions and innovations. All this is complemented by “Startup Area” spaces and additional formats that open the door to new ideas, contacts and collaborations.
