The global event for environmental technologies

IFAT brands itself as the world’s leader in water, sewage, waste and raw materials management and there is a real reason why this international trade fair would enjoy this kind of reputation. It’s been going on for over half a century, with its start in 1966. Its success and the trust it cultivated in the industry led to its expansion with satellite events in China, India, Eurasia, and Africa. This is precisely why you should consider showcasing your products and solutions. You will receive a lot of international attention.

The product portfolio extends to industrial waste management, power generation, pump control valves, industrial dust control technology, air purification, soil treatment, stormwater collection technology, water supply engineering and so much more. 

IFAT 2024 Update

IFAT will return to Messe Munich in Munich, Germany, in May 2024. The next physical edition will take place between May 13th—May 17th, 2024. The venue will not have safety procedures such as obligatory face masks due to Germany's removal of domestic coronavirus restrictions in April 2022. Attendees will be advised to follow recommendable steps, such as practising proper hand hygiene. On arrival, participants will not be required to show their 3G entry documents at the country's borders.

IFAT follows a biennial schedule in Munich, Germany, where editions fall on even years. Editions run for five days during springtime, most often around May. Messe Munich performs the dual duty of the official organiser and host venue.

IFAT admits only industry insiders and working hours are from 09:00 am until 18:00 pm, whereas the last day wraps up two hours earlier at 16:00 pm.

As with all exhibition centres in Germany, Messe Munich is fully integrated into the city’s infrastructure with excellent connections to motorways, making a drive to the grounds simple and efficient. If you’re relying on public transport, then you can use the U2 metro line or the several suburban train lines.

As we have mentioned, IFAT is heavily visited, but how does that translate into numbers. In terms of exhibitors, there are over 3300 international exhibitors confirmed to have showcased last time, and the audience exceeded 142,000 trade visitors as a whole. That’s definitely a sizeable platform to expose your products to and build professional relationships with.

One of the reasons for this continued to growth is the support IFAT receives from top industry associations and unions within Germany – BDE, DVGW, DWA, VAK, VDMA and VKU. Professional visitors come from many professional backgrounds – industry & manufacturing, municipal & private utilities and waste management organizations, engineering offices & consultants, universities, trade, vocational schools & research institutions.

If we’re to break down attendance by country, we see countries like Italy, China, Turkey, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Austria, Israel and Spain take the leads in terms of numbers of visitors.
