POWTECH TECHNOPHARM (Nuremberg, 29 September-01 October 2026) is the international trade fair for process engineering experts and a tailor-made technology platform for the pharmaceutical and life science industries. Its honorary sponsors are the APV (Working Group for Pharmaceutical Process Engineering) and the VDI Association of Process and Chemical Engineering. At this working trade fair, experienced companies and innovative start-ups present a wide range of technological solutions for the production and processing of powders, granulates, bulk solids, fluids and liquids for industries of all kinds. POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is the gateway to the European market and provides a comprehensive look at the latest developments and industry-specific trends. For exhibitors and visitors from numerous user industries, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and feed industries, building and non-metallic minerals, ceramics, glass, mechanical engineering and plant construction, recycling and the environment, as well as cosmetics and batteries, POWTECH TECHNOPHARM provides the perfect platform for sharing information on process and unit operations and GxP-compliant production.

As the process industry is under enormous pressure to recruit the next generation of skilled professionals, POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is addressing this precise challenge through its Student Day and Startup Area. POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is going to be a key gathering place where young people can learn about career pathways and employers can forge contacts with emerging skilled professionals at an early stage. The shortage of young talent and skilled workers is exerting considerable pressure on the process industry: “There are basically two key challenges at play here. First, many experienced skilled workers will leave the job market as they reach retirement age. Second, the next generation of workers will face increasing demands as the workplace continues to evolve due to factors such as digitisation, automation, sustainability requirements, and new production technologies,” says Daniel Puschmann, Manager Customer Success at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM. “These two factors help explain why more than 71,000 jobs in occupations relevant to the chemical-pharmaceutical industry cannot currently be filled by suitably qualified skilled professionals.” Companies often do not have appropriate…

Between 29 September and 1 October 2026, POWTECH TECHNOPHARM will bring together experts from a wide range of process industries in Nuremberg and create the ideal conditions for knowledge-sharing and innovation. As the gateway to technologies used in processing powders, solids and liquids, the Exhibition will illustrate how process engineering solutions can be used in multiple disciplines, which provides a crucial competitive advantage – especially in future-oriented fields such as digitalization and the circular economy. Process engineering has a lengthy history: Even millers, brewers and blacksmiths put fundamental processes such as comminution, mixing, separation and heating to good use. This has now grown into a highly specialized branch of industry in which new processes are constantly being developed, from agglomeration and granulation to coating, freeze-drying and nanotechnologies. POWTECH TECHNOPHARM reflects this variety and makes it accessible to many different sectors. Comprehensive solutions along the value chain The range of products and services the exhibitors offer now covers almost the entire production chain, from processing, metering and transporting…

From 29 September to 1 October 2026, Nuremberg will host PowTech TechnoPharm, the heart of process engineering. Exhibition spaces are filling fast, and the latest floor plans are already available online. Ideal Platform for Lead Generation and Networking With only months to go, preparations for PowTech TechnoPharm are in full swing. ”Companies looking to tap into new markets and generate leads should secure an exhibition space now,” says Director Marianny Eisenhofer. Independent data from 2025 shows immense optimism, with 96 percent of surveyed exhibitors making valuable new business connections. The event will occupy the central Halls 7A to 9 at Nuremberg, with free local public transport included via the VGN KombiTicket. Practical Knowledge Across the Process Spectrum The international process engineering community will gather to tackle challenges in handling powders, solids, and liquids. The event covers mechanical, thermal, and analytical processes alongside liquid and paste handling. Attendees—including production heads and buyers from the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and recycling sectors—can experience machines firsthand and gain expert guidance…

Three days full of inspiration, innovation and interaction at PowTech TechnoPharm and FachPack. For the duration, the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg became a city of 72,000 people united by a single mission: to drive forward their companies, ideas and industries and lead them into the future. PowTech TechnoPharm and its rich supporting programme ensured first-hand practical knowledge for the community. Once again this year the exhibition offered a special highlight: ParTec, the renowned international scientific congress, with about 500 participants and high-calibre lectures on particle technology. The new chair for the forthcoming ParTec 2028 will be Professor Urs Peuker of the Institute for Mechanical Process Engineering and Mineral Processing at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. “PowTech TechnoPharm and ParTec have once again underscored their key role as the central platform for processing and particle technology and sent out a positive signal: PowTech TechnoPharm is a place of stability, trust, and long-term viability,” says Marianny Eisenhofer, Director PowTech…

From 23 to 25 September 2025, Nuremberg will once again become the hub for international processing technology, when Powtech Technopharm 2025 delivers its most diverse programme ever. Powtech Technopharm 2025 has plenty of new features in store. Apart from the addition of Technopharm to the trade fair name, there are also new meeting points such as the Pharma in Focus Pavilion or the Women4processing network. We are also welcoming new partners such as ZLV (Centre for Food and Packaging Technology), BDI (Federation of German Industries), VEA (Association of German Energy Consumers), and IND EX (Intercontinental Association of Experts for Industrial Explosion Protection) alongside our established partners. Interdisciplinary dialogue is one of the hallmarks of Powtech Technopharm. Pharma in Focus: pavilion and expert forum The new “Pharma in Focus” Pavilion in Hall 10 puts the spotlight on pharmaceutical processing technology and enables companies to showcase their latest products and services. In the Technopharm Forum, also in Hall 10, visitors can look forward to presentations, discussions and inspirational insights on technologies for pharmaceutical…

From 23 to 25 September 2025, Nuremberg will again become the hub where everything revolves around technologies for processing powders, solids and liquids. In just over six months from now, Powtech Technopharm will relaunch following its scheduled break. 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…
