What’s in a name?
IFA started as a radio exhibition, and this is the origin of our name.
As one of the world's longest-running industrial exhibitions, we have retained our initials as a nod to our roots and history.

Today, we are much more than a radio exhibition; we are the global leader in showcasing cutting-edge innovation and technology in home and consumer electronics.

Today, we are much more than a radio exhibition; we are the global leader in showcasing cutting-edge innovation and technology in home and consumer electronics.

Innovation for all. And we mean all.

As the organiser of IFA, we see our responsibility as reaching beyond our own employees to everyone who takes part in the world's largest tech event connecting consumer electronics, home appliances, and future tech. That explicitly includes every visitor, everyone who works for an exhibitor, and every service provider at IFA.

"Innovation for all" means IFA is open to everyone. Gender, identity, origin, religion, language, and disability are never barriers here. As the stage for the latest technology, IFA strives to be barrier-free, both physically and in mindset. Technology enables inclusion, and true innovation never thrives inside rigid categories.

We are committed to making IFA an inclusive environment that embraces diversity and brings people from all over the world together to exchange ideas. Through targeted programmes and initiatives, we support the presence and visibility of underrepresented groups. That way, we create space not only for innovation but also for real social change.

Clarion and GFU: two strong partners, one shared mission – to make IFA the world’s leading tech platform.

GFU is an industry organisation representing leading companies of the Home and Consumer Tech sector and is the brand owner of IFA. GFU publishes studies and market data, provides important impetus for the industry and is connected with all relevant players in the industry. As a shareholder in IFA Management, it supports the overall strategy of the event and, as a market expert, the content formats in particular.

Clarion organises both live and digital events every year, attracting buyers with spending and decision-making power who are looking for solutions and innovations to help move their businesses forward. Putting them in contact with the providers of these solutions, and with each other, is the overriding objective, always. Clarion invests heavily in the management of IFA and its team to create a dynamic, forward-thinking and digital culture.
