POWTECH TECHNOPHARM 2025 – the hot spot for processing technology this September
Supporting programme offers balanced blend of old and new
In just over six months from now, Powtech TechnoPharm will relaunch following its scheduled break. From 23 to 25 September 2025, the Nuremberg exhibition grounds will again become the hub where everything revolves around technologies for processing powders, solids and liquids. Visitors can already look forward to their old favourites as well as some new ideas and concepts. Participants will also benefit from the co-location with FachPack, the European Trade Fair for Packaging, Technology and Processes. PARTEC, the prestigious international scientific congress, will be held alongside POWTECH TECHNOPHARM again in 2025.
The POWTECH TECHNOPHARM team is busy with the preparations. The trade fair looks set to be a successful event, with around 600 exhibitors expected in Nuremberg in September. Around 80 percent of the exhibition space has already been booked. “The current floor plans are available online. Companies that would still like to exhibit are welcome to get in touch with us so that we can organise the best possible space for them”, recommends Marianny Eisenhofer, Director of POWTECH TECHNOPHARM.
A new feature this year is that POWTECH TECHNOPHARM will now occupy Halls 9 to 12 in the northwest grounds of the exhibition centre. This area is readily accessible directly from the underground station or coming from the eastern section of the grounds through the exhibition park, where live demonstrations of explosions will be held again this year. Many visitors are sure to also benefit from a tour of the other exhibition halls, where FACHPACK will simultaneously be showcasing current and future packaging solutions. The POWTECH TECHNOPHARM ticket also gives visitors access to FACHPACK.
“The feedback we are getting from all parties is that the entire processing community is already looking forward to the exhibition again. People have gradually got their heads around the new cycle – two consecutive years of POWTECH TECHNOPHARM every September, followed by a break in the third year – which makes it easier for people to plan,” says Eisenhofer of the status quo around six months ahead of the event. “In terms of international presence, we are also already making good progress. And with the new PROCESSING ALLIANCE, we will be focusing even more strongly in future on building business relationships in international markets.” The PROCESSING ALLIANCE of NürnbergMesse GmbH is an international network of leading events for the global processing community that aims to address trends in the respective markets worldwide and focus even more specifically on customer benefits.
Spotlight on pharma
Extending the brand to POWTECH TECHNOPHARM lives up to the new claim “Your Destination for Processing Technology” and puts the spotlight on the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry, especially GxP-compliant manufacturing of liquid, semi-solid and solid pharmaceuticals. The supporting organisation APV (International Association for Pharmaceutical Technology) is honorary sponsor. The TECHNOPHARM Forum has been set up specifically to showcase in STAGE TALKS the various segments of the pharmaceutical industry. At the new “Pharma-in-Focus” pavilion, companies will present specific products and solutions to the high-calibre professional audience with relatively little effort but significant impact.
Supporting programme offers balanced blend of old and new
At the September 2025 event, the supporting programme for POWTECH TECHNOPHARM will include familiar features and new concepts. Alongside the TECHNOPHARM Forum, the popular POWTECH Forum gives companies another opportunity to present themselves and their innovative solutions to an interested audience. The Call for Papers has already been launched and is available on the website. A proven and familiar feature is the special show by the VDMA – a long-standing partner to POWTECH TECHNOPHARM – which will also be part of the supporting programme this year. Organised by the VDMA’s Air Handling Technology and Processing Technology and Equipment associations, it will feature presentations by companies under the banner “Experience the process chain of the bulk solids industry first-hand”. The Networking Pavilion will once again offer established market players and newcomers the opportunity to take part in the trade fair without overstretching their resources. A new addition to the programme is the inaugural meeting of the “Women4Processing” network for women working in the processing industry. The aim is to give women a platform where they can share knowledge and ideas, learn from one another, and provide mutual support. Women working in processing technology will also benefit from dialogue with the participants of “Women4Packaging”, a similar network organised by FACHPACK.
R&D, professional development, and support for young talent
One of the main themes at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is support for the next generation of industry professionals and R&D activities. With its Campus Pavilion and Students’ Day, the trade fair is therefore giving universities, tertiary institutions and students ideal opportunities to network with the industry. In addition, for the first time, the trade fair is providing the VDI Association of Process and Chemical Engineering – one of its institutional sponsors – with a platform for two of its competitions: chemPLANT, which calls for theoretical knowledge and practical applications in processing engineering, and ChemCar, a race between model cars powered by a (bio)chemical reaction. At this year’s event, the DSIV (German Powder and Bulk Association) will once again offer trade fair tours specifically for students.
PARTEC Congress runs parallel to trade fair again
An undisputed highlight in 2025 will be the PARTEC Scientific Congress on the latest particle research, which takes place concurrently with POWTECH TECHNOPHARM. The new Chair, Professor Lutz Mädler from the Leibniz Institute for Materials Engineering in Bremen, is working with the VDI Association of Process and Chemical Engineering to plan yet another high-calibre programme featuring keynotes, lectures, poster sessions and awards ceremonies at the highest international standard. The congress programme will be published in mid-April 2025. Evonik is supporting PARTEC as a new sponsor. The ticket shop for PARTEC is already open.
