Starting this year, co-exhibitors can register via the new exhibitor portal. The person who completed the main registration form will receive access as soon as it has been confirmed by us. Co-exhibitors can either be registered directly in the portal, or an individual registration link can be generated and forwarded to the co-exhibitors for independent registration.

The New Product Index of IFAT Munich at a Glance

The demands on water management, recycling, and circularity continue to evolve. Municipalities, cities, and industry face new challenges - from resilient infrastructure and security of supply to more efficient material cycles. At the same time, technologies, markets, and solution offerings are changing.

IFAT Munich will reflect this development in 2028 through, among other measures, a revised product index. Offerings, technologies, and solutions are being restructured, existing categories are being renamed or differentiated in some cases, and new topics are being added.

  • What stays the same?

    FAT Munich remains the world's leading trade fair for environmental technologies and the platform for Water, Recycling and Circularity.

  • What is changing?

    The product index provides a more differentiated view of current technologies, solution areas, and market requirements. Categories are being renamed, restructured, or expanded.

  • Why does this matter?

    The new structure affects how companies and their solutions are categorized within IFAT Munich and how visitors can find them.

The new product index is more than just a renaming. It builds on the thematic structure of IFAT Munich.

Please refer to our information sheet for full details on the new product index.
