Exhibition for innovative packaging solutions

In addition to the top-class lecture programme, Future Resources offers an accompanying exhibition for start-ups and companies that develop or use innovative packaging materials. The focus is on forward-looking solutions – ideally using post-consumer recyclates (PCR) – that show how sustainable packaging concepts can already be successfully implemented today.
The exhibition creates space for visibility, exchange and networking: exhibitors present their materials, technologies and concepts to an expert audience from industry, trade, science and politics. This brings innovation to life and promotes direct dialogue between developers, users and decision-makers.
Your special advantage:
Participation in the event entitles you to exhibit free of charge, subject to prior agreement with the organiser. Future Resources thus offers young companies and innovators in particular an attractive platform to present their solutions without additional hurdles.
Anyone who wants to actively shape the packaging world of tomorrow will find the right stage at Future Resources.
