SMART by Subcontractor

Sustainability + Material + Research + Technology = SMART by Subcontractor. During our anniversary year, we are launching a new interdisciplinary arena, where current topics and innovations are placed side by side. Feel, listen, ask - and get tips on how the manufacturing industry of the future can develop. SMART, simply put!

Meet companies and organizations working with sustainability, connected solutions, new materials and research. Talk to our exhibiting experts who are ready to guide you further in the area where you need support. Here you can find inspiration from others that are working with, for example, energy efficiency, sustainable resource use or AI  - and take the next step on your transformation journey.

SMART Labs - Test, experience and talk to the experts

In SMART Labs you get the opportunity to step straight into the solutions of the future. Here you will find our partners in Tech, Circularity and Materials, who will show concrete applications and are happy to discuss how you can make your business smarter and more sustainable.

It is hands-on, interactive and relevant – regardless of whether you are a designer, developer, purchaser or business manager and are in charge of strategic decisions. You get to know, test and ask questions directly to the experts.

All the Labs will be presented in the exhibitor list, which will be published on September 11. You can book a meeting with any specific Lab-exhibitors that you would like to have an individual conversation with.
