As an innovation forum for future glass applications, this trade show is the most important catalyst for the international glass sector with exhibits revolving around free-form, ultra-thin, solid and informative glass.

Some of the highlights included smart glass that can adapt to varying light conditions such as electrochromic glass, interactive glass as a carrier of information and electronics, as well as head-up displays and smart-home functions or an interactive all-glass sports floor.
