Neakasa Riko Honored with the IFA 2026 Innovation Award at IFA Berlin

BERLIN, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Neakasa, a global provider of smart pet care solutions, announced at IFA 2026 in Berlin that its Riko smart wet-meal feeder has been named an IFA 2026 Innovation Award Honoree, recognizing its innovative approach to automated wet-meal feeding for cats. Unlike conventional automatic feeders that store prepared wet food, Riko stores freeze-dried food in its dry form and automatically grinds and mixes it with water at scheduled feeding times. Each meal is prepared on demand according to the selected portion and hydration level, offering a new approach to incorporating freshly prepared wet meals into a cat's daily feeding routine. Riko supports adjustable water-to-food ratios from 1:1 to 5:1, more than 20 scheduled meals per day, and portions from 1 to 15 grams. Its 3L food bin and 2.4L water tank can support up to 10 days of automated feeding for one 12-pound adult cat, depending on feeding amounts and schedules. The Neakasa app allows owners to manage feeding schedules, portions, food and water levels, and feeding history. Neakasa Riko officially launches across all platforms on September 8, 2026. Also showcased at IFA 2026, the Neakasa M9 Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box attracted strong interest from visitors with its focus on structural safety, cat comfort, and simplified maintenance. M9 features TILT-SAFE Rotation, a structural design that keeps the litter chamber open throughout the cleaning cycle and reduces areas where a cat could potentially become trapped or pinched. Its 96L OpenView Cabin provides a spacious interior with open sightlines, while the PureTower Odor Control System combines activated carbon and a desiccant layer to help reduce odors and manage moisture. A low-entry design with an approximately 26 cm entrance makes access easier for kittens and senior cats. Throughout IFA 2026, Riko and M9 drew strong attention at Neakasa's booth. Riko's IFA 2026 Innovation Award recognition, alongside positive visitor response, highlights Neakasa's commitment to smart pet care solutions combining intelligent technology, thoughtful design, and everyday convenience. The Neakasa M9 will officially launch across all channels on October 9, 2026. Stay tuned for its official launch and more details. About Neakasa Neakasa is a brand of Genhigh.
