In addition, the trade show significantly expanded its reach in the international media. The number of press conferences rose by 16 per cent.

The new Friday afternoon keynotes in particular attracted 50 per cent more visitors than in 2024 – both nationally and internationally.
IFA special initiatives
The trade fair was rich of events and initiatives of differt kind. The new IFA Retail Leaders Summit celebrated a successful launch and attracted renowned international top retailers and tech companies – including, for example, the software group Microsoft with a keynote speech, which will be more closely involved in future, as well as the company AMD. In addition, established and new formats such as Beauty Hub, Creator Hub, Communication & Connectivity Areas and the Mobility Track offered great experiential value and interactive activities.
The spacious Outdoor Gardening & Cooking zones and the RoboCup also attracted thousands of visitors. IFA Moments, the trade fair's year-round highlight format, continued to evolve and became a ‘must-see’ at this year's event – both at the exhibition grounds and throughout Berlin.
«IFA 2025 – commented Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH – has once again demonstrated how closely technology, trade and culture are linked today. We are proud that IFA has once again become the meeting place for the international tech world this year and that we are settinnew standards for international cooperation. IFA builds bridges and stands for innovation, connectivity, networking and cosmopolitanism. This is precisely what makes it so attractive to exhibitors, visitors and politicians alike. The fact that numerous exhibitors have already confirmed their participation for 2026 confirms that the new IFA concept is working».
