The Media Days are not only an important prelude to the world\u2019s largest tech trade show, but also the central platform for direct dialogue with the media and content creators. The focus was on topics that are increasingly shaping the market and consumers\u2019 everyday lives: artificial intelligence, connected applications, sustainable technologies and intelligent solutions for the home.<\/p>\n<p>Our thanks go to all media representatives, partners and participating companies for the engaged discussions and the wide range of insights.

The political delegation was led by Dr. Karsten Wildberger, Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and Government Modernisation, and Mayor Stefan Evers, representing the Governing Mayor of Berlin. He was also accompanied by Dr. Silke Launert, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, and Berlin\u2019s Senator for Economic Affairs, Franziska Giffey.<\/p>\n<p>The tour led to national and international exhibitors and impressively demonstrated how connected technologies, smart household appliances, artificial intelligence and robotics are already being translated into concrete applications today. The IFA Next innovation area, which brings together start-ups, research and the international tech scene, was also visited.<\/p>\n<p>For GFU, the tour underscored the importance of IFA as a platform for industrial policy messages and as an opportunity for dialogue between business and industry. The composition of the tour particularly highlighted the diversity and economic importance of the sector and the innovative strength of the European home appliances industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
