IFAT 2026 as a platform for innovation, exchange and the LEO Ultimate

IFAT in Munich is and remains a key event for the environmental technology industry, and this year once again made it clear why. With a total of 18 fully booked halls and a sprawling outdoor area, it ranks among the largest trade fairs in the world. The audience that made its way to Munich in early May was equally diverse.

International Diversity and Great Curiosity

Our impressions of the trade show are thoroughly positive. We found the event to be very successful, not least thanks to the strong international presence. Around 42% of our contacts came from Germany, with the remaining visitors hailing from nearly 30 other countries.

We were particularly impressed by the diversity of the audience. From groups of students from Croatia exploring new technologies out of pure interest to seasoned industry experts and businesspeople. Even tech-savvy retirees took the opportunity to learn about current developments.

It was precisely this mix that defined the trade show: an open, curious, and inspiring atmosphere that could be felt throughout the entire venue.
