Munich, Germany -- IFAT 2008, the 15th International Trade Fair for Water – Sewage – Refuse – Recycling, which takes place from 5 to 9 May in Munich, is further strengthening its reputation as the world´s leading trade fair in the environmental sector.
The already extensive range covered by the fair is now to be expanded to include the subjects of coastal protection and flood control. There will also be a greater focus on generating energy from waste materials, a field with great potential for the future and one which covers both high-tech and low-tech as well as integrated solutions.
This means that IFAT 2008 will have an even more extensive range of exhibits than in 2005. The section on coastal protection and flood control is appearing for the first time at IFAT, its inclusion prompted by the changing climate and the problems associated with this. IFAT 2008 will of course also be addressing the whole issue of water, which is of special importance in the United Nations´ ‘Water Decade’.
IFAT is the world´s most important trade fair for the environment and waste disposal. With the expansion of the section on energy generation from waste materials, the area of biogas will come more sharply into focus. The trade fair is thus responding to developments in the market and once again demonstrating its premier position as the leading international trade fair for the environment.
Important trade conferences, symposia and forums, alongside events focusing on flood control and disaster management round off the attractions at IFAT 2008. These forums are intended as a platform for dissemination of new ideas and the latest expertise as well as a valuable opportunity for making business contacts.
Following the record figures for IFAT 2005, which attracted 2,223 exhibitors from 36 countries and 109,000 trade visitors from 166 countries (a rise of 30 percent in each case), the organisers are aiming to further increase the international scope of the fair for 2008 and tap into new potential in the growing markets.
The focus regions are Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and the Ukraine (East and Central Europe) plus Turkey, USA, Canada and India. In order to reach the international market and these key countries, extensive information and support on IFAT 2008 is available on the fair´s website, www.ifat.de, and marketing and press activities are being launched around the world.
