Event
glasstec Start-up Zone
2020 – networking
platform for young,
innovative companies
glasstec Will Be Held In Düsseldorf, Germany,
From October 20-23, 2020
glasstec is the contact platform for top decision-makers
from the glass industry as well as experts from business,
research and politics. To young, innovative companies, the
Start-up Zone offers a platform to make new contacts in the
glass industry and build networks.
National and international startups
can secure one of the
coveted stands in the Startup
Zone with immediate effect.
The Start-up Zone celebrated
a successful premiere at glasstec
2018. Fifteen young, international
companies capitalised on the possibility
of presenting their ideas and products
to an expert audience. Glasstec offers
ideal conditions for this.
Due to the high percentage of
national and international decisionmakers
(79% of the 42,600 trade
visitors) and the 1,276 exhibitors from
50 nations glasstec is the hotspot for
the glass industry.
Thomas Duchardt also rated
participation in the Start-up-Zone as
a success. His company will be among
the repeat attendees at glasstec 2020.
“The Start Up-Zone gives me the
opportunity to gain exposure at the
most important trade fair for the glass
industry on a small budget. Personal
contacts are very important especially
for canvassing new customers. I can
invite existing customers in a targeted
fashion and also use the four trade
fair days to get talking with other
interesting exhibitors,” says Thomas
Duchardt, Büro Thomas Duchardt
GmbH
