INNOVATIONS TOUR 2020 – UPDATE: CANCELLED

Due to Covid-19, InnovationsTour 2020 was postponed to the SPS fair, which was scheduled for 24-26 November 2020, and later SPS changed into a virtual experience. Unfortunately, because of new and yet unknown consequences and restrictions of Covid-19, we feel obliged to act in our customers’ best interest and cancel InnovationsTour 2020 entirely.

We are however, already eagerly working on finding alternative ways and possible venues for hosting InnovationsTour 2021, next year. Customer relations are very important to us and keeping those relations through continuous contact is one of our most important goals. InnovationsTour is designed with the customer in mind, as it strengthens existing as well as new collaborations that in turn provide added value for everyone involved. We therefore encourage you to remain present for more information to come.
