all visitors, bringing together a full range of 130 start-ups, 70
companies, as well as industry alliances, organizations, and
research facilities.
IFA NEXT benefited from the fact that it was based right next to
the venue for all IFA Keynotes, the IFA + Summit congress, as
well as IFA guest conferences. The layout of the new venue gave
the event an extra boost, making IFA NEXT an attractive location
for exhibitors and visitors. The open layout of the hall, with clear
paths leading to the stage at its center, together with the modern,
modular design of the stands, all contributed to the overall
impression that this was a marketplace for ideas and the perfect
meeting point for a lively community of innovators. Many
international encounters, together with visits by ambassadors
from Japan and Korea, and leading politicians and business
leaders, provided plenty of buzz for all at IFA NEXT. The great
feedback from journalists also underlined that IFA NEXT is a
fantastic platform for innovators of all sizes, and exhibitor
statements will soon be available online.
IFA 2018 will take place from 31 August to 5 September.
