As one of the world's largest scientific conferences on fluid power, it offers users, manufacturers and scientists an international forum for exchanging experiences on hydraulic and pneumatic drives and systems.
The transformation of the primary energy source of many mobile applications is leading to new boundary conditions for the various fluid-power drives. At the same time, this transformation is opening up new business models and technologies that would not be possible without fluid-power. Thanks to its power density and robustness, enhanced by sustainability, digitalisation and AI, fluid-power enables future key technologies and thus supports the global net-zero emissions target.
This leads to the 15th IFK motto:
Fluid Power: Enabling Future Technologies
The scientific program of the IFK 2026 includes four keynote lectures by renowned experts and provides in‑depth insights into key topics of fluid power technology. All information regarding the program, program booklets, and registration can be found on the IFK website at www.ifk-aachen.de.
Please note that the participation fees will increase after February 28, 2026. In addition, this year’s IFK will feature a job market where companies can make their job postings available to conference participants.
