Thinking about sustainability in an innovative way.

It is at the same time a solution platform, a networking event and a knowledge hub, and brings together the key international industry representatives from politics, business and science. As the largest trade fair for the water, wastewater, recycling and municipal technology sectors, IFAT Munich offers exciting ideas and innovative solutions for industrial and municipal challenges—with exhibits you can experience in action and up close. This is what makes the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies more versatile and results-oriented than any other.

Solutions tailored to your needs

Consistent focus on applications

Prepare to be impressed by best practice examples and solution tours, and let exciting competitions and live demos convince you which machine, system and solution are just right for you.

Focused event program

The program at IFAT Munich is both highly varied and highly specialized. The Green Stage is the central point for exhibitors, start-ups and cross-industry topics. While the Blue Stage focuses on water, sustainable and climate-adapted water management, water reuse and energy-efficient wastewater treatment plants, the Orange Stage highlights circular economy & resource efficiency, material flow management as well as municipal technology and waste management. The Spotlight Areas, by contrast, always focus on one aspect: for example, plastics and battery recycling, hydrogen in the circular economy, or the digitalization of water management.
