Between 1990 and 2014 the level of environmentally harmful greenhouse gases in Turkey rose rapidly, to 468 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. That is an increase of 125 percent, as is evident from the latest figures from the Turkish Statistical Office TÜIK and from Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI).

IFAT Africa plans to work even closer with the African environment market in the future: The trade fair for the segments water, sewage, waste and recycling now has support from an advisory board that will actively help shape its orientation in terms of both strategy and content.

According to Germany Trade & Invest, the company that deals with Germany s external business and the marketing of the country as an economic location, the Indian environmental technology market is on a double-digit upward trend.

The DVGW (Deutscher Verein des Gas- und Wasserfachs), the German gas and water engineers association, is to be a new partner of IFAT. The World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management takes place from May 30 to June 3, 2016 at the Messe München exhibition center in Munich.

50 years of IFAT, a success story that started out in 1966 with 147 exhibitors and 10,200 visitors and is continuing seamlessly today in 2016. Around 138,000 visitors from over 170 countries came to Munich for the anniversary edition of IFAT between May 30 and June 3, 2016.

IFAT, which takes place from May 30 to June 3, 2016 at the Messe München exhibition center, is celebrating its 50th birthday. It started out back in 1966, as the “International Trade Fair for Sewage Technology”. Taking part in that premiere were 147 exhibitors from nine countries, and 10,200 visitors from 40 countries—and the exhibition space was 18,000 square meters.

Fun and excitement—that´s the idea behind the new Active Learning Center at IFAT India, India´s leading trade fair for environmental technology. This year for the first time, there will be a special area dedicated to training, live demonstrations and skills contests, running for the entire period of the show.

In addition to the extensive supporting program taking place in the forums at IFAT, this year the show will also feature eight live demonstrations—four on water & sewage, and four on recycling & municipal technologies. IFAT 2016 takes place from May 30 to June 3 at the Messe München exhibition center.

More than 3,000 exhibitors from more than 50 countries, some 135,000 expected visitors and 230,000 square meters of exhibition space: Those are the key figures for IFAT 2016, which takes place at the Messe München trade-fair center from May 30 to June 3. However, the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management has so much more to offer than big numbers: It also features a first-rate supporting program with technical lectures, country and theme specials, panel discussions and exhibitor presentations.

In 2015 IFAT Eurasia celebrated its premiere in Ankara. For its next edition, this Turkish version of IFAT, the world´s leading trade fair for environmental technologies, is now moving to Istanbul. Between February 16 and 18, 2017, the Istanbul Expo Center (IFM) will for the first time be the showplace for products and solutions specifically tailored to the environmental market in Eurasia.
