Since February, companies have been able to register for drupa 2024 and a very positive trend is now already emerging. Renowned global players and newcomers across the entire print and packaging value chain from a total of 32 countries are already on board.
Under the motto ‘we create the future’, drupa will serve as a global meeting point presenting the visions of the print and packaging industries. This edition will specifically focus on the mega trends sustainability and digitalisation as well as their influence on processes, products, sustainable business models and the future of the industry.
‘Current registration levels, exhibitor feedback on impressive stand concepts, scheduled product launches and live demos of machinery all build suspense among the global community and are the reason for our great optimism,’ said Sabine Geldermann, project director of print technologies at Messe Düsseldorf. ‘The industry has again proven its pivotal relevance with its broad based applications on so many vertical markets – especially in times of crisis.’
Although there are just under two years to go until the start of the trade fair, planning is already in full swing. Operative planning of global marketing initiatives, special forums and networking events have already got off to a dynamic start. Likewise, the partners operating the touchpoints and the Special Forum drupa next age (dna) – the innovative technology driver to connect industry newcomers, young talents, explorative start ups and well established enterprises – have already submitted their conceptual ideas and involvement of exhibitor partners.
‘Promoting young talent and the ‘next generation of print’ is especially dear to our hearts just as it is to our partners and customers,’ explained Sabine Geldermann. ‘Against this background we will design a fascinating paper artwork for drupa 2024 together with the Academy for Fashion & Design from Düsseldorf; in cooperation with other universities such as Stuttgart Media University as well as vocational training colleges such as FHBK Dortmund we will move the importance and fascination of this industry with its highly attractive job profiles to the foreground.’
The next drupa will be held from 28 May to 7 June 2024 at Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre. Exhibitors can register online by late October 2022 via www.drupa.de.
