ANGA COM 2025 enjoyed the company of 22,000 visitors from 80 countries for this week’s exhibition and conference.
The numbers are around 1,000 down on 2024’s attendee figure.
Dr. Peter Charissé, Managing Director of ANGA COM, acknowledged the difficulties faced by the city of Cologne during the congress but said the industry had an unbridled will to innovate. “In view of the extraordinary logistic conditions this year in Cologne, the completely untouched atmosphere and the excellent number of participants, I cannot say THANK YOU enough: To our more than ever reliable partners at Koelncongress and Koelnmesse, all service providers involved, our exhibitors, sponsors, visitors and speakers and especially, of course, to my exhibition and conference team in Cologne, who demonstrated their extraordinary motivation and experience in a particularly impressive way this year.”
On Wednesday, bomb squad technicians deactivated three unexploded US second world war bombs after the evacuation of more than 20,000 people from a shipyard in Deutz on Monday.
