FILTECH describes itself as the world’s largest filtration event and an international B2B platform with solutions for all industries.
FILTECH 2024 recorded 18,760 participants and 582 exhibitors from 36 countries; 61.4% of visitors came from outside Germany.
FILTECH combines exhibition and technical conference; in 2026, the focus will again be on the latest advances in filtration and separation, knowledge transfer and future trends.
The event addresses more than 35 markets, including water and wastewater, air and dust, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, energy, battery, semiconductors, cleanroom, CCUS and desalination.
One open side. Cost-efficient for focused components, filter media, sample parts or specialised solutions with a direct consultation focus.
Two open sides. Useful for greater visibility when exhibits, material samples, testing devices or digital applications should be visible from several visitor routes.
Three open sides. Strong for providers with several product lines, such as filter media, plant components, testing, sensors and engineering.
Four open sides, freestanding in the hall. Ideal for larger brand presences, live demos, heavy technical exhibits, meeting zones and international customer appointments.

FILTECH 2026 will take place from 30 June to 2 July 2026 in Cologne. The venue is KoelnMesse Halls 7+8 with Entrance North at Messeplatz 1. The event positions itself as the world’s largest filtration event and an international B2B platform for the global filtration industry.
The focus is on filtration and separation for numerous industries, including water and wastewater, air and dust, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, energy, chemicals, semiconductors, battery, cleanroom, CCUS and desalination. The accompanying conference covers topics such as solid-liquid separation, membrane processes, filter media, gas-particle separation, testing, simulation, digital twins and artificial intelligence.
For exhibitors, this means that the stand must make technical expertise easy to understand, present product advantages credibly and enable international expert discussions. Clear product guidance, robust exhibit areas, demo opportunities, quiet consultation areas and a stand concept that connects research, application and industrial solution expertise are particularly important.
