IFAT Munich is considered a global hub for water, waste, recycling, and circular economy management—a “meeting place for environmental technologies”—and is regarded as the world's leading trade fair for environmental technologies.
Organized by Messe München, it is considered the heart of an international network for solutions related to water, wastewater, waste, recycling, and the circular economy.
The trade fair covers key future topics in this changing industry: water and wastewater technologies, waste and recycling management, circular economy and resource efficiency, digitalization in environmental technology, climate resilience, and municipal technologies. It is a place where innovations are presented, strategies are discussed, and international collaborations are initiated.
The trade fair is part of a global IFAT network with events in China, India, Brazil, Africa, and Turkey. A place for innovation presentations, strategy discussions, and international cooperation—and for 3,000 exhibitors from over 60 countries and approximately 120,000 visitors—it is a magnet for international delegations, ministries, NGOs, and global companies. The trade audience comes from industry, local authorities, engineering firms, the waste management sector, energy suppliers, and technology providers.
