With more than 93% of the exhibition space already booked, major industry players and returning exhibitors have confirmed their participation, highlighting the event’s continued relevance. Set to take place from May 20 to 23, 2025 in Cologne, interzum remains a critical gathering for global industry professionals, offering insights into the latest innovations and trends, especially in times of economic uncertainty.
As suppliers across different regions face economic and social challenges, including the growing demand for sustainability and volatile market conditions, interzum provides a vital platform for businesses to come together. The fair will serve as a hub for companies to explore and develop solutions aimed at navigating these turbulent times.
“We’re thrilled by the continued strong demand for interzum,” says Maik Fischer, Director of the event. “The return of prominent exhibitors, participation of leading companies, and interest from many small and medium-sized businesses demonstrate how crucial this event is, particularly in economically challenging times.”
Sustainability and Innovation at the Forefront
Interzum 2025 will highlight the theme of Rethinking Resources: Circular and Biobased Solutions, promoting sustainable practices within the furniture industry. The fair will feature hands-on experiences, product showcases, and diverse event programming centered around biocircular innovations. Attendees can expect insights from the interzum Trend Stage, Product Stage, and various Trend Forums, where thought leaders will present cutting-edge ideas and market-ready solutions.
Exhibitors will unveil new products and technologies for the first time on the global stage, with a particular focus on circular economy principles and biobased materials. The Rethinking Resources Boulevard will provide a dedicated space for visionary concepts in these areas. Additionally, the prestigious interzum award will return, honoring outstanding innovations in furniture production.
Positive Outlook for ORGATEC 2024
The momentum is also building for ORGATEC 2024, which opens tomorrow. With an expanded hall layout, specialized Focus Areas, and the Work Culture Festival organized by the German Interior Business Association (IBA), the event is set to provide comprehensive insights into modern workplace trends. Covering 140,000 square meters, ORGATEC will attract top companies, retailers, and professionals from across the globe, establishing itself as the leading international trade fair for modern work environments.
