The highlights of IFA 2026 | IFA Berlin 2026 - Innovation For All
Opening day highlights
On day one, the IFA Innovation Awards 2026 announced their winners: honouring the ideas that move smart home, computing and gaming, beauty tech and sustainability forward.
Day 2 highlights
On day two, humanoid robots took over the show: Neura Robotics brought David Reger to the Innovation Stage to talk cognitive machines, while Robots on the Runway sent Unitree, EngineAI, DEEP Robotics, AGIBOT and Dobot Robot down the catwalk on the Creator Stage.
Day 3 highlights
On day three, the Pitch Battle Finale crowned the IFA Pitch Battle Winner 2026 on the Dream Stage, closing three days of startup competition at IFA Next. Over on the Creator Stage, creators talked platforms, formats and building a career that lasts. And the Sommergarten turned into an open-air podcast stage until late.
Day 4 highlights
On day four, the Creator Stage took the creator economy apart, from platform decisions to what turns content into a sale, and Back Market's Alexandra Brandt made the case for refurbished tech. Over on the Dream Stage, heise closed the day live with the heiseshow, on the week's launches and what will still matter come autumn.
Day 5 highlights
The final day, and it didn't slow down. Around 300 companies filled IFA Next with humanoids and exoskeletons, RoboCup's robots played to the final whistle, and over in Hall 6.2, Games Ground gave visitors all day to sit down with the people who actually built the games.
