Like the FIFA World Cup of the print industry, drupa is finally back in 2020 after a 4-year wait. And PrintVis will be there once again, in our humble yet proud little stand, ready to show our Microsoft-powered solution to the hundreds of thousands of visitors, fellow exhibitors and prospective partners from all around the world. For this event we are in the new DNA – drupa next age – section, a special new area that puts a spotlight on innovation. We love innovation and we know you do too – we’ll be in Hall 7, stand A02, from June 16 – 26.
About dna – drupa next age
dna stands for “drupa next age.” This special show is dedicated to future topics in the industry and to encouraging a productive exchange of experiences between global players, start-ups and innovative SMEs. Based on the Start-Up Area in the former drupa innovation park (dip!) and embedded in a new space concept, it gives innovators from the start-up scene an opportunity to introduce new product ideas, services and strategies for relevant crosscutting technologies, be it in the form of best practices or business case studies.
The drupa is the largest printing equipment exhibition in the world, held every 4 years at Messe Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The word drupa is a portmanteau of the German wordsdruck and papier; print and paper respectively.
“It has become very apparent in recent years that the appeal of print products is growing as the technology steadily advances. Print is conquering new dimensions with haptic elements, innovative materials and finishing techniques that engage the senses in previously
unknown ways for an entirely new experience.” – Sabine Geldermann, Director of drupa and Global Head of Print Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.
