Hoeveel mensen zijn wereldwijd gevaccineerd begin september? En welk effect heeft dat? Voor de organisatie van IFA zijn er teveel onzekerheden om de elektronicabeurs door te laten gaan. Het evenement is definitief gecanceld.
“Innovation needs a platform; it needs the focus of global attention. That’s why brands and manufacturers across the tech industry were very keen to come to IFA Berlin 2021. Unfortunately, the latest public health developments introduced too much risk into everybody’s planning for the event,” aldus Kai Hillebrandt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of gfu Consumer & Home Electronics GmbH.
“There simply are now too many uncertainties. Therefore, right now it has become near impossible for anyone to responsibly plan their participation in any trade show.”
De organisatie gaat zich nu richten op de voorbereidingen van IFA 2022.
