Drinktec

COVID Update

The coronavirus pandemic has made it difficult for trade events to run in Germany, so despite the incredible interest and demand for Drinktec to take place as a physical event – organisers had to postpone the event to 2022. Messe München GmbH recently announced the postponement of the major trade fair for beverages and spirits to September 12^th – September 16^th at Messe München in Munich, Germany.

The pause will give organisers the time to prepare a safer live concept that incorporates all the important coronavirus safety and prevention measures. There’s a lot to be said about the importance of face-to-face exhibitions and fairs. They’ve been instrumental in some of the biggest innovations in the industry. It’s even more important for Drintec to return as it’s held only once every four years. 

Calling Card 

Drinktec is a prime international trade fair for all involved in the beverage and liquid food industry as it’s an incredibly diverse platform and unites the entirety of Europe. Another part of the high interest in Drinktec is the fact it takes place only once every four years in Munich, Germany. The long pause gives time for the market to rejuvenate, new products be developed and new players to enter the scene. This makes the trade fair all the more appealing for industry insiders. The edition coincides with oils + fats – both are held at the Messe München and programming extends for a total of five days. If you want to move products off shelves and learn about new market niches in real time, then Drinktec is right for you. 

Business Potential 

Drinktec showcases every step of the processing chain. You learn all technological aspects behind production of everything from soft drinks and spirits to liquid foods.

Exhibitors mark high satisfaction rates following their visit in meeting several goals – contract conclusions, new business contacts, meeting old clients and preparing for future deals.
