Where new ideas meet the glass industry

Decarbonisation, the circular economy, AI and digitalisation, and new material applications are transforming the glass industry. Many of these developments are emerging not only within established companies, but also where new business models, technological experimentation and agile product development come together: in start-ups.

The Start-Up sessions highlight this innovative drive. They demonstrate the solutions young companies are developing to tackle current challenges, how new technologies can be applied in practice, and the impetus this generates for the entire sector.

The sessions combine technological developments with specific areas of application

The Start-Up sessions offer a concise introduction to new ideas, technologies and contacts. They are aimed at trade visitors, decision-makers, developers, investors and anyone who wants to identify at an early stage which innovations are shaping the glass industry.
