IFAT

IFAT is the leading trade fair for environmental protection, city planning, recycling, water and waste management, irrigation and sewage. It takes place every 2 years at Messe Munich. In addition, IFAT has a large international network for environmental expertise and solutions, with subsidiary events held in 5 other countries. IFAT Munich 2020 is scheduled on 4 - 8 May. The previous fair marked a 7% increase in the number of exhibitors and 4% increase in the number of visitors. The 2020 event will certainly receive more than 3300 exhibiting companies and 141,000 trade visitors.

The IFAT expo offers innovative environmental technologies for the automobile, building, chemical, F&B and pharmaceutical industries. To companies operating in the related segments, this means additional opportunities - forming intersectoral collaborations or observing which innovations are sought by the competition. During the dates of IFAT, Messe Munich becomes the place where public institutions, associations, universities and journalists meet the business - from multinational enterprises and medium-sized companies to small family-owned businesses and start-ups.

The intense expertise exchange during IFAT 2020 is not to be missed by professionals willing to stay ahead of the curve. It holds so much promise – more exhibitors will partake in the expo, new companies and projects will be presented, progressive technologies and processes will be demonstrated live. The demonstrations will include innovations in drinking water treatment, soil collapse protection, etc. IFAT Munich will provide answers to questions regarding the market as well as information on best practices, changes to legislation and other crucial developments.

A new show dedicated on road construction premiered during the most recent IFAT Munich. Its goal was to engage companies implementing sustainable practices and energy-efficiency measures. Covering the entire process chain in road construction, the special show addressed topics like digitalisation, resource effectiveness, research and technology transfer. It will return at IFAT 2020 with the novelties in this field. The environmental sector is on the rise and IFAT is evolving with it. The exhibition is in the course of steady expansion, and the next edition will prove it.
