This year's theme, “Digital Transformation,” will feature a Digital Transformation Experience Zone where visitors can explore new technologies and advancements in the manufacturing industry. The Start-up Zone will provide a platform for new players in the sector to meet international leaders and pursue new collaborations, helping them advance their initiatives.
