50 Years of IFAT, A Success Story
IFAT started out in 1966 with 147 exhibitors and 10,200 visitors and is continuing seamlessly today. “The feedback from all our participants was overwhelming. The further rise in participation figures is impressive proof of how for 50 years IFAT has been shaping the development of the environmental technology sector,” says Stefan Rummel, managing director of Messe München. “The exceptional performance of IFAT is continuing in 2016. Excellent new contacts were forged for our companies, in particular in the international arena. Overall IFAT has been a tremendous success in its anniversary year,” concurs Dr. Johannes F. Kirchhoff, chairman of the Advisory Board of IFAT and managing partner of Kirchhoff Ecotec. That is an assessment shared by the exhibitors. Because this year, again, one of the outstanding features of the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management was the high level of international participation. After Germany, the top 10 countries of origin among the visitors were: Austria, Italy, Switzerland, China, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Denmark and Turkey. Strong growth on the visitor side was noted from Australia, China, Israel, Italy and Singapore. The overall proportion of visitors from outside Germany was 47%. A total of 3,097 exhibitors coming from 59 countries, presented their innovations and new developments for theenvironmental technology sector on 230,000 m2 of exhibition space. The next IFAT takes place from May 14 to 18, 2018 in Munich.
