futureSAX Meets Traditional Industries in Transition: Media & Publishing
09.11.2026 | 15:30 - 21:00 | Region Landkreis Leipzig
"futureSAX Meets Traditional Industries in Transition" brings together people who don't just wait for the future—they shape it.
In Saxony’s media and publishing sectors, practical experience meets new ideas from startups and research—providing fresh impetus for AI, digitalization, sustainability, and new business models.
How can traditional industries preserve their strengths while successfully leveraging new technologies? The event series “futureSAX meets Traditional Industries in Transition” brings together established companies, startups, research institutions, and innovation leaders to explore precisely this question.
The example of the media and publishing industry in Saxony illustrates just how profound the transformation already is. Artificial intelligence, automation, and digital business models are changing processes, products, and roles. At the same time, sustainable approaches are opening up new opportunities for economic success and social responsibility.
A highlight of the evening will be the innovation pitches. We’re looking for solutions in the areas of production & efficiency (automation, AI, smart processes), sustainability in printing & packaging (materials, resource efficiency), experience & impact (tactile prints, AR print, interactive media), business models (print-on-demand, subscriptions, personalized offers), specialized innovations, and social impact.
Submissions for the pitch slots are open until September 30.
Take this opportunity to present your project to an expert audience, make valuable connections, and spark new ideas for innovation. Apply now and play an active role in shaping the future!
