FESPA Future – Supporting developing markets and using print for good At FESPA, we strive to explore and recognise the unique opportunities and challenges faced by print and visual communications businesses in developing markets, and to support them with targeted resources, events, initiatives and educational programmes. By coming together and working as a team, our community can help to uplift underserved communities and create opportunities for local print businesses. FESPA Middle East We continue to invest in initiatives that support growth, innovation and knowledge-sharing across the globe. For example, we recently established our newest global print exhibition in Dubai – FESPA Middle East. This inaugural event was launched in January 2024 to serve the growing print and signage markets in the Middle East and Africa regions and was a great success. In addition, the following edition in 2025 welcomed more than 3,400  visitors from more than 80 countries, and included educational features, such as a Sustainability Spotlight conference. The event also enabled senior decision makers from print and signage businesses to connect and network with leading suppliers and distributors. Our facilitation of such events highlights our commitment to supporting regional print industries and helping local businesses to grow. Regional Events FESPA Africa, FESPA Brasil and FESPA Mexico have contributed to the growth of the print market in their respective regions. FESPA Mexico is a key event for print businesses operating in the printing industry in Mexico and Latin America. It attracts thousands of professionals and showcases the latest innovations in digital and textile printing, garment decoration, screen printing, packaging, and more. Beyond the exhibition floor, FESPA Mexico features a programme of live demonstrations, educational seminars and expert-led conferences where speakers discuss key topics such as sustainability, automation, and new business opportunities. Similarly, FESPA Brasil delivered in partnership with the amazing team at APS Fieras, has established itself as a leading exhibition for the digital printing market in Latin America. The event covers a wide range of printing applications, including textiles, labels, signage, personalised products, and 3D printing and provides valuable knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities for industry professionals. In 2024, it achieved record-breaking attendance, with more than 24,000 unique visitors going to the event. FESPA Africa has also contributed strongly to the print industry’s growth in sub-saharan Africa. Our partners in the event, Practical Publishing, are invaluable partners in not only the FESPA Africa event, but also the FESPA Foundation. The FESPA Foundation In early 2025, we launched The FESPA Foundation, our new sister organisation dedicated to providing printed educational resources and other support to underserved communities around the world, and encouraging sustainable practices throughout the speciality print sector. Operating under the strapline ‘Print For Good’, the FESPA Foundation’s efforts include providing knowledge, educational resources and materials to schools in underserved communities to facilitate better learning environments and inspire young people into print. A key initiative of the FESPA Foundation is to divert printed exhibition samples from FESPA’s global events, that would ordinarily be wasted, to meaningful community support projects, such as schools. This aligns with FESPA’s ISO 20121:2012 certification for Sustainable Event Management, which includes monitoring and limiting waste produced at our global exhibitions. The FESPA Foundation facilitates the collection, transportation, distribution and installation of printed materials in the beneficiary communities, via international and local partners. It also collects in-kind and monetary donations that further support these communities, for distribution via credible local charities and community outreach programmes. The FESPA Foundation’s first successful project was at the Evane Intermediate School in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Members of the Foundation and local partners in South Africa revitalised the school by repainting and decorating, upgrading facilities and implementing printed educational posters and materials. This project transformed the learning environment for the school’s 90 students, giving them a more functional and inspiring space to learn and thrive in. The FESPA Foundation truly demonstrates how the power of print can change lives and facilitate learning around the world. Ultimately, FESPA is a proven force for good. By demonstrating that we’re supporting underserved communities, we hope to inspire our community to provide benefits and educational resources to young people in need – be it through Association activity or other meaningful projects.

Streamlining personalisation with tech: Insights from the SmartHub Conference 2025 speakers Personalisation Experience 2025 will highlight the importance of using the latest technologies and software across a range of disciplines, to reduce waste and increase operational efficiency, while leveraging the benefits of digital production methods. Ahead of the event, four keynote speakers – Rusty Pepper, Head of Global Markets & Partnerships, Taylor OnDemand; Lisa Brown and David Sweetnam from FESPA’s Thought Leadership Partner, Keypoint Intelligence; and Frank Piller, Professor of Technology Management at RWTH Aachen University, discuss the impact of technology on personalisation. What role does technology, such as AI and automation, play in streamlining the personalisation process? Rusty Pepper: I’m excited for the next-gen APIs and product customisation tools that will be powered by AI, and will unleash a fresh wave of innovation across the POD industry. The next generation of APIs will leverage AI-driven automation to integrate order data, customer preferences and artwork files across platforms, production hubs and sellers. I expect that they will also use predictive analytics to forecast and anticipate demand, identify emerging trends, accelerate onboardings and assist with making production workflows more efficient. This way, POD companies can focus on growing their businesses. Meanwhile, product customisation tools are about to get really powerful, making them game changers for everyone in the POD world. From B2C to B2B, these next-gen customisation tools will still let users upload pictures, add words, tweak colours, or pick design templates – but with AI running in the background. It’ll offer regular users design ideas and tips based on current trends or personal tastes. Look for advanced features like 3D previews and augmented reality (AR) to show 360-degree viewing, showing users exactly how a product will look before its ordered. Thus, reducing returns and boosting customer happiness. Lisa Brown: Technology, particularly AI and automation, plays a critical role in streamlining the personalisation process by enabling scalable, error-free, and efficient production workflows. AI facilitates intelligent design customisation, predictive job routing, and automated quality control, reducing manual intervention and production errors. Automation across order intake, prepress, RIP, printing, and fulfilment accelerates turnaround times and supports high-volume, short-run orders with minimal labour. Integrated systems – such as web-to-print platforms, ERP, and production management software – ensure seamless data flow and real-time decision-making. Together, AI and automation empower print service providers to deliver mass customisation with consistency, speed and profitability. David Sweetnam: AI and automation will play a critical role in the success of a personalisation garment business model enabling a large number of tasks to be handled more efficiently with effective quality control. Workflow will be the critical factor in the success of the personalisation business with integrated AI a key means of ensuring the workflow processes are carried out. Automation and robotics will be the keys to ensuring that the unique requirements of each job are followed correctly – from the picking of the right garment type/size/colour to the association with the correct printed image and the final packaging with shipping instruction. To learn more about the benefits of personalisation and how you can implement it into your business, I suggest you visit Personalisation Experience 2025! Frank Piller: Industry 4.0 is very much focused on operational efficiency right now. Most manufacturers see it as a way to do exactly what they were doing before, but more efficiently and less wastefully. In my work in this area, I have advocated that Industry 4.0 should also be seen as a way of strategic differentiation – of doing things differently. Mass customisation is one of the value propositions. The European Commission now has a big initiative called Industry 5.0. This includes digital manufacturing and connected supply chains, but the focus is on better working conditions for the workforce and more sustainability. I like this expansion, but not the term. With Thomas Gries, a colleague from RWTH Aachen University, we coined the term “Industry 4.U” as our vision to take Industry 4.0 beyond operational efficiency by putting people and the planet at the centre. The various mass customisation strategies we discussed earlier, especially when AI comes into play, are a big value driver in this context. In addition, Personalisation Experience 2025 visitors will also gain free access to its co-located events, FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo, where they can discover the latest solutions in the speciality print, signage and visual communications industries.

Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, Michael Ryan, comments: “We’re looking forward to being back at Messe Berlin in a couple of weeks’ time for this year’s exhibitions. Although FESPA Global Print Expo is an annual event, every year brings with it something new and different – from new product launches, features, exhibitors and trends. This is what I believe makes our FESPA events unique and worth a visit year on year. With over 560 exhibitors and a broad feature programme this year, there is a lot for visitors to explore, be inspired by and grow their knowledge. I’m looking forward to seeing what FESPA Global Print Expo has in store for all of our visitors.” For more information on FESPA Global Print Expo and its co-located shows, and to register using code FESM438, visit: www.fespaglobalprintexpo.com         Source: FESPA READ MORE The post FESPA Global Print expo set to be the meeting point for visionaries in 2025 appeared first on Pakistan Textile Journal.
