Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IFA or Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (International radio exhibition Berlin) is one of the oldest industrial exhibitions in Germany. Between 1926 and 1939 it was an annual event, but as from 1950 it was organized on a two yearly basis until 2005. Since then it has become an annual event again.

It offers the opportunity to exhibitors to present their latest products and developments to the general public. As a result of daily reporting in almost all the German media, the radio exhibition achieves a large spreading of the information - and advertising messages and has also become international. In the course of its history, a large number of world innovations were first seen at the exhibition.
