Printing press manufacturer Heidelberg is launching Innovation Week 2021. For three days, from October 13 to 15, under the motto "Always a Step Ahead," the German manufacturer will present its latest technologies and customer success stories at this online event.
Three thematic conferences live from Germany
Starting at 9 a.m., live reports of about 20 minutes will be available each day on a different subject.
The event will be broadcast from the Print Media Center in Wiesloch-Walldorf, Germany, where Heidelberg is showcasing its latest offset and digital technologies for the commercial, packaging and label market segments.

Day 2

Day 3
Friday, October 15, 2021 at 9 a.m
Diversification: Versafire
Achieving competitiveness through diversification. This program presentation presents the perfect combination, with a focus on profitability. Manuela Gomez, General Manager of Digital Print Solutions Marketing, will discuss the wide range of opportunities that arise from the intelligent integration of digital presses into the workflow.
Heidelberg's latest innovations presented in video
Participants will also have access to videos on Heidelberg technologies.
A video introduces, for example, Heidelberg Plus, the new entry portal to the Heidelberg ecosystem.
Heidelberg Plus combines existing applications with new services. Customers have a complete overview of all their tools and information, networked functions and the Heidelberg service portfolio. This will enable quick and easy access to information, purchase of items and monitoring of operations.
Another video shows the strengths of the Speedmaster CX 75 for the label printing market, including its digital finishing performance.
Attendees will also learn more about the creative possibilities of the Versafire EV with the new gold and silver toners.
They will also learn about Remote Contracts and the Performance Advisor Technology (PAT) automated consulting tool, an artificial intelligence-driven tool that analyzes data and streamlines workflows.
Feedbacks to discover
Innovation Week will also be an opportunity to hear from commercial, packaging and label printers equipped with Heidelberg.
These business leaders will explain how they have improved their performance and competitiveness by using the latest Heidelberg innovations, including the new Speedmaster CX 104 universal press, the Stahlfolder P-Stacker automated folder and the Versafire digital press.
Other testimonials will talk about how they have increased productivity through a subscription agreement with Heidelberg, and how they have automated their processes using the Prinect workflow.
"The customer profiles provide an exciting and authentic insight into how print shops have become significantly more productive using the innovations Heidelberg has launched over the past 18 months across all market segments, and how they have made processes more efficient and cost-effective through digitization." says Ludwig Allgoewer, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Heidelberg.
Live discussions with Heidelberg experts
A chat will also be available during the three-day event to converse live with Heidelberg experts.
During and after the event, participants will have access to a video library with feedback from Heidelberg customers and recordings of all presentations.
The event will be held in English, but subtitled versions of the presentations will be available in seven other languages, including French.
