Drupa 2028 will bring together the international print and packaging community across all industrial processes – from machinery and technology providers to software and workflow specialists, brand owners, designers, and the creative industry. 

“Drupa is the ultimate international platform where vision and reality meet,” says Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf. “Partnerships across the entire value chain are crucial for successfully transforming new technologies into marketable solutions and jointly shaping the next stage of development in the industry.”

The 2028 edition will focus on end-to-end solutions as well as automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, materials, and the circular economy. The trade fair is thus expanding its range of exhibitors to include topics that are becoming increasingly important for industrial production, efficiency gains, and sustainable business models. 

Showcases, thematic touchpoints, workshops, panels, masterclasses, and a high-quality conference program will again make Drupa a central platform for knowledge transfer, technology comparison, and strategic orientation.

This new content direction is accompanied by a new, expressive, and distinctive visual identity that makes the focus of the world’s leading trade fair visible and tangible. 

The new look consistently focuses on networked, systemically conceived printing and packaging solutions and positions Drupa as a global stage for industrial solutions.

Drupa 2028 will increasingly focus on brand owners, designers and creative professionals from the print and packaging sectors who are driving forward new areas of application and business models.
