“The high registration level demonstrates the industry’s anticipation for interzum, even amid global challenges. It remains the key platform for innovation and business, reflecting the sector’s diversity and depth,” says Maik Fischer, Director of interzum.

A standout feature of interzum will be the Boulevard Nord stage, offering two formats: the interzum Trend Stage with insights into market trends and the Product Stage where companies will present their innovations. Trend Forums will explore crucial topics like biocircular materials, smart resource use, and digital product passports.

The prestigious interzum Award will honor the most innovative solutions from international exhibitors, with a new category, “Rethinking Resources,” added for 2025. Award-winning products will be showcased in a special exhibition on Boulevard Nord.
