Instead of an annual report, the new platform offers regularly updated content that addresses developments in a timely manner and provides structured analysis. At the same time, drupa insights is part of drupa 2028’s strategic repositioning: as a component of the thematic LEARN cluster, the format strengthens the knowledge and analysis segment well ahead of the trade fair. drupa insights, a new digital knowledge platform from drupa, is now online. Just a few weeks after the open- ing of exhibitor registration, the trade fair is expanding its information offering to include continuous market and future analyses for the international printing and packag- ing industry. Industry Cooperation The format is developed in cooperation with Alliance Insights, the research division of PRINTING United Alli- ance. Access is available with one-time, free registration on the drupa website: www.drupa.com/insights . drupa insights provides in-depth analyses of technolog- ical developments, market changes and economic trends. It is based on international studies and research tailored to the needs of a dynamically evolving print and packaging industry. For its launch, the platform focuses on three key topics shaping the future of the sector: the growing impor- tance of label and packaging printing, advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, and the increasing automation of production processes.
