The Beyond 4.0 Fair aims to turn Thessaloniki into a technology and innovation hub. The fair will be held from 14 to 16 October and will be the ideal platform for international business leaders, pioneering thinkers, cutting edge technology, and anyone active in consumer technology. The Beyond 4.0 innovation and technology exhibition will provide a platform to companies from all over the world to present innovative products and their services, as well as the opportunity to make important deals with visitors from Greece and abroad. The new fair is being organised by TIF-Helexpo, Be-Best, and Industry Disruptors Game Changers (IDGC).
The main theme of Beyond 4.0 will be ‘The future of Artificial Intelligence (AI)’, which will be explored through the trade fair with high tech companies, a congress with important international speakers, workshops by startups and major businesses, product and service presentations, and round tables and networking on the future of Artificial Intelligence.
