An international ensemble of 669 exhibitors and 25886 visitors from 125 countries came together at RAI Amsterdam. Apart from the focus on a personal reunion, there were plenty of opportunities to do business, experience product innovations and attend the extensive knowledge programme. The event organisers have already announced the dates for Interclean Amsterdam 2024, which will take place from 14 to 17 May 2024.

Robert Stelling (director Interclean Global Events) said: "We can look back on four very successful days, with a positive vibe in the exhibition halls.

"Everyone was extremely happy to finally meet each other again in person. We received many positive responses, from business contacts who were pleasantly surprised about the international nature of the exhibition, exhibitors who were able to make many more new contacts or close new orders and speakers who talked enthusiastically about the large audiences and their willingness to interact.

"This week has demonstrated that the power of personal interaction is extremely valuable. I am also proud of the Healthcare Cleaning Forum where we bridged the gap between infection prevention and cleaning. It was also fantastic to see how our sector is dealing with sustainability. On top of all that we learned that robotisation has now really taken off. We cannot wait until 2024.”

True to tradition the Amsterdam Innovation Award was presented when Interclean opened. This year the coveted trophy was awarded to the overall winner Essity's Tork Biobased Heavy-Duty Cleaning Cloth. Following the presentation the amount raised by the participants in the Amsterdam Innovation Award of €12,675 was handed over to Amref Flying Doctors to support their projects in Ethiopia.

Interclean China 2022, which will see cleaning and hygiene professionals from all parts of Asia coming together, takes place from 23 - 25 November 2022 and will provide visitors with the latest innovative products and educational talks from industry experts.

From 14 to 17 May 2024 RAI Amsterdam is once again going to be transformed into the global capital of cleaning and hygiene. There will be four days of knowledge sharing, doing business with leading manufacturers and opportunities to meet industry professionals from all over the world. With cleaning products and solutions, inspiring sessions on cutting-edge topics and future technology, the exhibition will be an opportunity for you to find out about all kinds of business opportunities in the professional cleaning industry.
