The first edition of FuturePrint Industrial Print will take place from 21 to 22 January 2026 in the Kohle Bunker at Motorworld Munich. With over 50 exhibiting companies and a three-part conference programme, it offers a powerful platform for the industrial and manufacturing sectors.
It will showcase how industrial inkjet printing and digital coating enable flexibility and efficiency that are virtually impossible to achieve with analogue processes. FuturePrint Industrial Print was conceived as an alternative to traditional trade fairs: exhibitors can benefit from an effective format and visitors can explore everything in a single day. Among other things, inks, coatings, surface treatment technology, print heads, drive electronics, software and AI, curing solutions, additive manufacturing, technical support, digital printing machines, materials and testing equipment.
Conference programme
The event will focus on the conference programme, which will cover the following topics:
AI & intelligent automation, packaging & labels, functional printing and additive manufacturing, and decorative surfaces. Speakers will include innovators, analysts and manufacturers, who will present case studies and real-world applications. The event is aimed at professionals from the automotive and aerospace industries, consumer electronics, medical technology and household appliances, packaging, decorative, functional and additive printing, as well as direct printing and security printing. To help visitors navigate the wide range of solutions on offer, tech tours will guide groups through themed exhibitor presentations.
‘Industrial digital printing technology is no longer about its future potential – it’s about what’s already possible,’ said Frazer Chesterman, co-founder of FuturePrint. ‘This event offers manufacturers clear insight into technologies that enable faster, leaner and more profitable production.’
Trailblazer Innovation Competition
Adding to the excitement is the Trailblazer Innovation Competition, which puts promising new technologies in the spotlight. Start-ups, scale-ups and established innovators compete for recognition as the industry’s next pioneering solution, judged by a panel of experts and public vote.
