A look at the history of the fair makes us realize how long is the way mankind has travelled on the road towards technological progress in such a short time.

Whereas in Germany the year 1924 marked the beginning of the so called Goldene Zwanziger (The Golden Twenties), in Poland it witnessed the introduction of the Polish Zloty and foundation of the Bank of Poland.

9 years later, in 1933 the fair was held under the patronage of Joseph Goebbels- Minister of Propaganda of the Third Reich. This edition witnessed the presentation of the Volksempfänger (people’s receiver)- a radio-receiver designed by Otto Griessing and commissioned by Goebbels. More than 100 000 receivers were sold at the fair for the price of 76 Reichsmarks each.

 

The 1935 edition of the fair saw AEG present its first practical tape recorder, whereas the 1962 show witnessed Philips develop the cassette tape- a product still present in many households.

Each year IFA witnessed presentations of the latest technological developments. This has remained the case to this day.

In 2019, 95 years after the first edition of IFA, the show is considered the largest technological trade fair in Europe.
