POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is Europe’s trade fair for technologies used in the processing of powders, solids and liquids. It showcases developments across the entire process chain – for sectors such as energy, recycling, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and feed. As an international platform, it presents technologies and the latest developments in process engineering. It also provides opportunities for professional exchange and for networking amongst experts in process engineering and the next generation of professionals in the sector. Every three years, the trade fair is held alongside PARTEC, an international scientific congress on particle technology. 

Our events are global platforms for sustainable innovation.
Peter Ottmann, CEO NürnbergMesse

Sustainability topics at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM

Digitalisation and AI

Digitalisation and AI enable the continuous collection and analysis of data in process engineering. This allows machines to be operated more efficiently, more safely and in a more resource-efficient manner. AI-supported models aid process optimisation, quality prediction and the early detection of faults and maintenance requirements. Digital twins and simulations help to develop, test and scale new processes more quickly.

Efficiency across the process chain

Exhibitors are showcasing innovative products and solutions across the entire process chain – from development, through manufacturing and filling, to transport and recycling. In doing so, they address key requirements relating to efficiency, quality and process reliability. The focus is on technologies for more efficient use of energy and materials, as well as new analytical methods and developments in measurement and automation technology.

Knowledge transfer and exchange

In the EXPERT FORUM and in specialised pavilions, future-oriented topics such as resource efficiency, the circular economy and energy-efficient processes are discussed and brought to life. Through Student Day and Women4Processing, POWTECH TECHNOPHARM also supports knowledge transfer and networking amongst specialists, young professionals and the research community. This generates new impulse for professional exchange and the further development of the industry.

Measures for responsible events

We are working to reduce the footprint of our service offerings. Among other things, we rely on reusable, modular aluminum trade fair stands, catering with local food, reusable tableware and a recycling system. With our EV charging stations, discounted train tickets and free public transport, we make climate-conscious travel easier.

Sustainability at NürnbergMesse

As the first trade fair company in Germany, we had our energy management certified to ISO 50001 back in 2014, and our environmental management is certified to ISO 14001. Our halls 3A and 3C have also been awarded DGNB Platinum status. Through measures such as our photovoltaic system with second-life battery storage and our recyclable ECO carpet, we make a measurable contribution to reducing our environmental impact. We document our measures each year in a voluntary sustainability report.
