IFA 2025 Berlin is shaping up to be a significant event for home and consumer technology. Discover what’s new and why it matters.
IFA 2025 Berlin
Once again, the tech world will descend on Germany this summer for IFA 2025 Berlin. Except for CES, IFA is one of the biggest and most crucial tech shows held annually.
It’s also one of my favourites as unlike many other tech events, IFA 2025 Berlin will be open to the public, so you dont have to read about the latest tech then wait months for it to launch, anyone can buy a ticket and experience the same great new devices at the same time as the press.
As IFA continues to transform and stay vital in the post-COVID event space, this year, it is emphasising its commitment to reflecting and actively shaping trends through several new experience areas.
These new formats are designed to provide real added value for attendees. The IFA Creator Hub, for instance, serves as a central meeting point for influencers, content creators, and their communities, offering a stage, VIP area, live streaming stations, and dedicated podcast and streaming studios in the Palais at Funkturm.
For those interested in wellness, the new Beauty Hub will debut as a highlight of the Fitness & Digital Health Area in Hall 17. It will showcase smart beauty innovations across skincare, haircare, and self-care.
Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the IFA Outdoor Cooking & Gardening in the summer garden, a new experience area dedicated to innovative solutions for cooking, barbecuing, and gardening.
There will be plenty of live demonstrations and interactive product experiences that will transform this area into a stage for sustainable lifestyles, showcasing new business opportunities in the rapidly growing outdoor segment.
For travellers, IFA 2025 offers a sneak peek into the innovations that will soon impact how they interact with technology on the go and at home.
From more innovative devices for entertainment during downtime to advancements in personal wellness and new ways to navigate a city, the products showcased at IFA often set the pace for what becomes available to consumers. For the frequent traveller, the emphasis on connectivity, digital health, and micro-mobility means more efficient and enjoyable journeys could be on the horizon.
New for 2025, IFA is introducing its own Innovation Awards. These awards, set to debut during IFA 2025 Berlin, aim to celebrate outstanding innovation, design excellence, and market impact across the home and consumer technology sectors.
Built upon IFA’s century-long legacy, the awards are designed to spotlight the “Best of IFA” products from its numerous exhibitors, with the program open to global manufacturers, designers, and tech companies. The winning products will gain prestigious industry recognition and showcase opportunities at IFA 2026’s Innovation Gallery.
