Digitalisation, demographic change, climate change – these megatrends are also having a significant impact on the transformation of the printing and paper industries. Nevertheless, paper and printed products will still be used and needed in many areas of life in the coming decades – the industry has a future. Playing a central role in this is sustainability. And this is also the central theme of the Touchpoint Sustainability special forum at drupa 2024 in Düsseldorf.

Working between feel-good zone, focus room and meeting point. The transformation of the working world is becoming clear and multifaceted - as this year's Ambiente has shown in its growing Working segment.
