Durst NEXT Technology Festival: Our World is Printed

Continuing with its 90th anniversary celebrations, Durst Group is holding a giant technology festival later this month (June 25th/26th) at its primary HQ facility in Brixen, South Tyrol. The Durst NEXT Technology Festival promises to look ahead to the technologies, partnerships and ideas that will shape the next phase of industrial production, against the theme Our World is Printed.

Christoph Gamper, CEO and co-owner of Durst Group, says: “With digital production, automation and Industrial Intelligence, Durst is building on our heritage and looking ahead to the next chapter of industrial production. Durst NEXT will create a setting where visitors can experience how automation, artificial intelligence and industrial intelligence are becoming part of real production environments – and how these developments can open new perspectives for industry, business and society.”

Designed as an open platform for dialogue, exchange and hands-on experience, Durst aims to bring together international perspectives from technology, industry, entrepreneurship, academia, policy, agriculture, print and advanced manufacturing – reflecting the diversity of the company’s own global ecosystem. At the centre of the this is the question of how industrial production is evolving in an age of automation, data and artificial intelligence – and how these developments can be translated into reliable, scalable and responsible production systems.

To kick-start the festival on June 25th, Durst is hosting a special, invite-only, inaugural Durst NEXT Honors evening for key partners and customers who have contribute to the printed world, enjoying an event that Durst describes as a ‘setting for recognition and exchange, connecting Durst’s anniversary with the people, applications and partnerships that have shaped our international development’.

The main event is on the following day (June 26th) when Durst Brixen opens its doors to a full-day public program of panels, talks, live experiences and community formats. The Innovation Stage will address key topics including Industrial Intelligence, digital print production, automated workflows, deep tech, digital twins, sustainable production, technical ceramics and applications in demanding environments such as aerospace. A central focus for this day will be the introduction of KYVERIS, Durst’s platform for Industrial Intelligence in Digital Print Production. By connecting hardware, software, data and process knowledge, KYVERIS reflects Durst’s approach to more intelligent, adaptive and efficient production environments.

Beyond the stage program, visitors will be able to experience selected applications including robotics, 3D scanning, technical ceramics, wearable systems, digital production workflows and the KYVERIS Sandbox.
