ceremony taking place a day later on 19 May in the
iba.FORUM. The award ceremony for the ‘iba.UIBC Cup of Confectioners’ will be held on 22 May. On May 21 the ‘World Championship of Bread Sommeliers’ will take place.
Exceptional artisan bakery requires unusual shop concepts Quality and functionality are combined with design, and sustainability is an issue: renewable raw materials such as reed, wood, bamboo or cotton are increasingly being used. How can you counteract the shortage of skilled labour and generate sales even after the shops close? The solution is a hybrid shop concept consisting of a classic bakery sales counter with an automated sales system that is accessible through a separate shop entrance. Baked goods, bread and drinks are ordered via a self-order terminal. Fancy an idea for the future? Fully air-conditioned Tiny Stores can be used to test out potential locations or during the reconstruction phase of the shop premises. The mobile, fully equipped container-based supply bakery includes a snack preparation station, warehouse, staff room, oven space and shop window. Prior to iba, the new design competition ‘Bakery of the future’ will be
held on the subject of shop fitting. Participants can submit their visions of a bakery of the future and apply online. Deadline is 21 March 2025. The jury prize and the audience prize for the best ideas will be announced at iba on 20 May in the
iba.FORUM.

sustainability and durability: Oven
Whether crispy bread or delicious cakes - choosing the right oven and baking technology is crucial. In times of rising costs, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important: at iba in Hall 13, oven builders will be demonstrating how residual heat can be utilised using a newly developed heat recovery system. The additional benefits: shorter baking times, better dough development and crust formation. Small but powerful: in- store baking ovens combine space efficiency with baking quality. In-store baking ovens with intelligent Active Steam technology, which combine the advantages of tube and cascade steaming, are innovative. The steam system is characterised by short heat-up times, optimised heat and steam distribution and lower energy consumption.
Generating additional sales: snacks and coffee concepts The sale of snacks and coffee specialities is a key sales driver in many bakeries and an important factor in customer loyalty. Fresh snacks are also increasingly move into focus. From pizza snacks and regional sandwiches to hot dog variations - visitors will find the right solutions for generating sales with new snack ideas. How bakeries and bakery chains can implement high-quality and customised coffee concepts even in times of staff shortages can be seen at iba: ‘With semi-automatic portafilter machines, we appeal to businesses that
