A city as a fair for the future. As a marketplace of information. Find out new things, spend two days discussing the most pressing issues relating to digitalization and sustainability. Learn from others. Get a taste of technologies and virtual worlds and find out what they mean for society and the economy. And, above all, for your own path. This is Digital X in Cologne. A festival of digitalization, for entrepreneurs - and everyone else too.
The "X" in "Digital X" stands for the multiple. The multiplicity of possibilities that digitalization brings with it. A buzzword that everyone associates with something different. And the everyday worlds of people and the industries in which they work are just as different. What the self-employed, SMEs and large companies have in common is that computing power, new applications, software and new business processes as well as strong telecommunications networks provide them with countless new opportunities.
Digital X 2024: „Ready for impact“
As the largest cross-industry digitalization initiative, Digital X aims to promote digitalization in business, politics and society. To achieve this, the event brings together large corporations, SMEs, start-ups, politicians, visionaries and leading experts in a joint community. This year, more than 300 partners in over 100 brand houses will once again be on site. The motto is "ready for impact" - talking about visions for the future is good, the initiative is about encouraging people to tackle the digital future together now.
World exhibition of digitization
Everything is developing rapidly. It wants to be grasped, learned and applied. It demands new forms of knowledge exchange. Digital X wants to make this possible and bring new impulses directly to the users: as a "World Exhibition of Digitalization" in the city of Cologne. The megatrends Connected Business, Future of Work, Security and Sustainability & Responsibility provide the structure for this. Alongside a suitable stage program, there will also be targeted megatrend tours for visitors.
Learning from pioneers
Those who come to Digital X learn from others how to deal with the innovations. The event is also intended for private individuals, such as the citizens of Cologne and beyond. Digital X is organized thematically across several districts of Cologne. It provides space for networking and presentations. There are no stands like at conventional trade fairs. Instead, local restaurants and pubs host the information on offer, which is also good for sustainability. Last but not least, Digital X sees itself as a growing "community" of all the people it attracts. They network at the event and beyond. For example in the LinkedIn group "Digital X".
Would you like to find out more and talk to experts about digitalization? Then come to Digital X - World Exhibition of Digitalization in Cologne on 18th and 19th September 2024. With stages, marketplaces, brand houses and top-class speakers, it brings the megatrends of the future to life.
