Climate-friendly venues, sustainable outdoor activities, and environmental technology projects that help improve the ecological footprint when producing, distributing and using outdoor equipment – the links between outdoor and environmental protection are very diverse. Climate protection is equally as important here as the issue of efficient and sparing use of resources. In short, sustainability and outdoor are already closely linked.
X-Industry aims to promote the exchange between the different industries. The format allows the different industries to work jointly to develop the international outdoor industry. From June 30 to July 3, 2019, X-Industry took place for the first time at the OutDoor by ISPO trade fair with the following components.
With the X-Industry exhibition area in Hall B5, a physical platform was created in which outdoor know-how was combined and expanded with sectors outside the industry. Solutions from the following areas (Digital Retail- & Industry Solutions, Environmental Technologies, Printed- & Organic Elektronics, Elektronic Components, Transport- & Logistics, Real Estate and Automation- & Robotics) were shown.
The industry trade fairs automatica, electronica, EXPO REAL, IFAT, LASER World of PHOTONICS, LOPEC and transport logistic introduced themselves and gave application examples which are relevant for the outdoor industry.
