Trade visitors often come from the fields of process engineering, production, plant design, quality assurance, safety, R&D, and purchasing—and they come to the trade fair specifically to learn about new solutions and prepare investment decisions.

Highlight: TechnoPharm & Pharmaceutical Technology special area

An integral part of Powtech is the TechnoPharm special area, which is specifically geared towards the requirements of the pharmaceutical, medical, and cosmetic industries. The focus here is on sterile production, cleanroom technology, pharmaceutical plant engineering, and process validation. In combination with the expert forum for pharmaceutical and food experts, this creates highly specialized platforms for exchange, further training, and technological orientation.

Supporting program: Expert forums, live demonstrations, and expert talks

Powtech is accompanied by a varied expert program with practical presentations, case studies, and panel discussions:

Best practices from industry and research
Trends in process automation
Explosion protection in bulk solids processing
Sustainability and energy efficiency in process engineering
Digital twins, predictive maintenance, and Industry 4.0
Practical tips on maintenance, cleaning, and operational safety

Live demonstrations at numerous machine stands turn the trade fair into a technical experience – with systems in action and solutions you can touch.

Digitalization, sustainability, safety

How can energy be saved in particle processing? What role does artificial intelligence play in process control? And how can hazardous dusts be handled safely in potentially explosive areas? These and many other questions are the focus of Powtech. Increasingly, the focus is also on climate-neutral process management, the use of recyclable materials, the recovery of raw materials, and resource-saving engineering.

Powtech – a technology trade fair with depth

The trade fair impresses with the high quality of its exhibitors and visitors, its innovative spirit, technical precision, and the close collaboration between practice and science. Anyone with responsibility in process engineering – whether in development, operations, or quality assurance – will find Powtech an indispensable platform for orientation and further development.
