Confirming the growth trend recorded also at this sixth edition, Managing Director of Messe Frankfurt Italia Donald Wich summed up the basic concepts of the event: «Our focus is always on the major trends affecting European and Italian manufacturing in particular. This is why we cannot ignore the impact which the concepts at the foundation of Industry 4.0 will have on the near-term.
