Neue Messe München, September 13.-17. 2010
IFAT—the international trade fair for environmental
technology—has more to offer than ever before. It showcases the
industry’s entire range of products and services. Its exhibits
are incomparable both in their depth and breadth. They include
innovations that set future-oriented standards and technologies
that have been adapted for developing and threshold nations. Add
to that a broad range of service providers unlike any other in
its diversity and distinction.
IFAT also features an extensive programme of related events that
includes conferences, symposia, workshops and forums—an
information platform for the latest technologies, topics and
trends. Instead of taking place on the fringe, they are
completely integrated into the trade fair and feature their own
special highlights.
In 2008 IFAT set a new record for attendance, with 2,605
exhibitors from 41 countries and around 120,000 trade visitors
from 170 countries.
