Opportunity Düsseldorf: What you can expect from iba 2025
In 2025, iba will not be opening its halls in Munich, but in Düsseldorf. The location in the Rhine-Ruhr region offers numerous advantages for organisers, exhibitors and visitors. The proximity to the Benelux countries and the excellent trade fair infrastructure are just two of them.
✔ Strong partners in the Rhine-Ruhr region:
The Bäckerinnungsverband West in Düsseldorf is the largest regional association in the German bakery trade. It represents the interests of 1,000 businesses with over 70,000 employees and an annual turnover of 3.2 billion euros.
✔ Economic importance of the region:
Experience the Rhine-Ruhr region as a central European economic area at first hand. Düsseldorf is one of the top locations for almost all sectors of the economy in Europe. With 13.5 million inhabitants and 557,000 companies within a radius of 50 kilometres, Düsseldorf is located in Germany's largest economic region.
✔ High presence of trade fair visitors from the Rhine-Ruhr region:
The trade fair location of Düsseldorf offers the opportunity to tap into a different target group than Bavaria. As the centre of these vital economic regions, Düsseldorf enables a large number of local and regional visitors to frequent the trade fair. This significantly increases the potential for networking and the creation of new business opportunities in the Rhine-Ruhr region.
BAKING NEW WAYS
The different players and innovative concepts from the baking industry are what make iba so special. As part of the multimedia campaign Baking News Ways, these are to be made visible by the event in May 2025. In addition, industry players will share their personal stories. The focus is on a central message: iba is a driving force in the international industry and, together with all the protagonists from the market, is constantly reinventing itself to make progress possible.
