One Hundred Years of Showcasing World Nutrition
The Internationale Grüne Woche – IGW or Grüne Woche for short – is one of Berlin's oldest and largest continuously held trade fairs. First held in 1926, it was originally a purely Berlin-based specialist event for agriculture and forestry. Today, it is the world's leading trade fair for food, agriculture, and horticulture, with over 1,400 exhibitors from more than 60 countries worldwide.
The Format – Five Weeks of Program in Ten Days
Over 26 halls are spread across the ExpoCenter City at the Funkturm. The main focuses are: Experience Farm (Hall 3.2, German agriculture to touch and feel), International Hall (Hall 8.2, country presentations from all over the world), Animal Hall (horses, cows, sheep, poultry to see and pet), Federal States Hall (regional German specialties), Flower Hall (horticulture and floristry showcases), Hall for Wine and Spirits, Organic Hall.
Centenary Anniversary in 2026
The 2026 edition marks the 100th anniversary. Messe Berlin and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture have announced an expanded program – special exhibitions on the history of the IGW, honors for long-standing exhibitors (some present since 1926 without interruption), and celebratory events. The parallel Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA), with agriculture ministers from over 70 states, is considered the most important agricultural policy summit worldwide.
More Than Just a Trade Fair
What makes the IGW special: It is both a trade and public exhibition. In the mornings and during the week, trade visitors dominate, while in the afternoons and especially on weekends, families from Berlin and all over Germany fill the halls. Sampling at the country stands is a genre of Berlin's January city life during the day. IGW tickets are among the best-selling trade fair tickets in Berlin.
