In just a few weeks' time, the leading international trade fair drinktec will open its doors in Munich from 15 to 19 September 2025.
Around 1,100 exhibitors from all over the world will be presenting their latest solutions and technologies for the beverage and liquid food industry at the exhibition centre. With an international share of around 70 per cent, the event once again underlines its global significance. The largest groups of exhibitors to Germany traditionally come from Italy, the USA and China.
The programme covers the entire value chain - from raw materials and process technologies to filling and packaging technology as well as logistics and IT. This gives trade visitors a comprehensive overview and enables them to develop strategies for the future direction of their portfolios. Decision-makers from all over the world regularly use the trade fair as a dialogue platform for investments and innovations.
Research presentations and practical impulses
A new addition to the programme is the so-called Liquidrome in Hall C4. This is where drinktec brings together a broad spectrum of lectures, research presentations and practical impulses. Start-ups will present their concepts and answer questions from the audience in pitches. The thematic focus of the Liquidrome is „Circularity & Resource Management“, „Data2Value“ and „Lifestyle & Health“. According to Markus Kosak, Executive Director drinktec Cluster, the central Wave Stage offers a wide range of insights into macro trends, artificial intelligence applications and solutions for resource-efficient production. The programme is complemented by the Deep Dive Lounge with impulses from the start-up scene and a Health Bar where partners can sample functional drinks with added benefits.
The trade fair is also digitally prepared: By registering online, visitors not only benefit from discounted tickets, but also from faster access to the halls. All offers are available in the exhibitor and product database. The Innovation Guide is a special service: it visualises pioneering solutions and integrates them directly into the digital hall plan.
„Positive development for beverages and liquid food in many regions“
The exhibition grounds can be reached via several entrances and are optimally connected to local transport and car parks. A direct connection to the airport also makes travelling to and from the fair easier. „The market data indicates a positive trend for beverages and liquid food in many regions,“ emphasises Kosak. „This makes drinktec the global economic summit for the industry and a must-attend event for all those who want to actively shape their future.“
