INDUSTRY INNOVATION ARENA

CALL FOR PAPERS

For confirmed exhibitors only

Industry Innovation Arena - where bold ideas meet global visibility

Welcome to the Industry Innovation Arena, our dynamic central stage where exhibitors showcase their latest products and solutions.

After its outstanding debut in Milan, where it became one of the highlights of the event, the Industry Innovation Arena is returning - bigger and bolder. This dynamic stage is dedicated exclusively to exhibitors, offering the chance to present groundbreaking products, pioneering solutions, and cutting-edge technologies directly to leading currency and identity professionals.

Designed to inspire, connect, and spark discussion, the Arena is the place where innovation meets visibility, ensuring your company’s latest advancements receive the attention they deserve.

Building on last year’s success, the number of slots has been expanded to 20 concise, high-impact 8-minute innovation pitches (without Q&A). This is your opportunity to gain visibility, inspire industry peers, and position your company at the forefront of innovation.

The Industry Innovation Arena will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 14 October 2026.
