IFA 2023: Europe’s huge annual tech show is now on!
IFA 2023 is Europe's biggest annual consumer technology expo and here are all our latest stories from the event
For 51 weeks of the year, the German capital of Berlin is far more concerned with techno than tech – but at the moment that’s all changed thanks to IFA 2023, Europe’s biggest annual consumer technology expo. It’s taking place at the massive Messe Berlin fairground where plenty of new smart home tech, hi-fi, headphones and home theater gear are announced – you can see all the latest announcements below.
The Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (that’s IFA to you and me) has been running since way back in 1924, making it one of the world’s oldest trade shows, and nowadays it’s used as a platform for launching many of the biggest consumer tech products.
The show had a bit of a return to form last year after no physical shows in 2020 and 2021, although it’s fair to say that there were quite a few big-name exhibitors missing such as Sony, which used to rent out an entire hall. Yes, a whole hall. There are 26 halls at the huge venue covering some 160,000 square metres.
Despite some absentees, there was still more than enough for us to cover and a huge number of product launches still took place during the show. And it’s the same situation in 2023.
The show has now officially opened and many exhibitors have already shown off their new gear. We’ve got our boots on the ground in Berlin to cover all the biggest launches from IFA 2023, and we’ll update this feature as the show progresses.
We’ve also now chosen our IFA Awards 2023 winners from the show so you can go and read about those, too.
