- Smart Packaging: the rise of connected packaging and the use of data.
- Circular Economy: innovations that promote reuse and recycling within the chain.

In addition, at Empack you will learn from practical examples of companies that have successfully implemented sustainability and innovation in their packaging processes. Discover what worked, what they encountered and which lessons you can apply.
2. The Pitch-Pack-Square – innovation in action
At the Pitch-Pack Square, start-ups, companies and knowledge institutions present their groundbreaking ideas and solutions. In short, powerful pitches you will get a glimpse into the future of packaging. From new materials to automation techniques, meet the pioneers of the sector here.
