At the Aicomp Summit 2026, the latest technical developments and findings in the field of software for the packaging industry will be presented in lectures and technically demanding workshops. This information is relevant for both packaging manufacturers and digitalization partners.
After the great success of the Aicomp Summit 2024 in Berlin, the event will take place in Vienna for the first time in 2026. From March 11-13, 2026, interested parties will learn more about digitalization in the packaging industry at the 25hours Hotel in Vienna's Museum Quarter.
Shaping the future of the packaging industry: Exchange on innovation and optimization at the Aicomp Summit
In 2021, the internationally renowned IT company Aicomp launched the first Aicomp Summit. The event is aimed at specialists and executives from the IT industry – with a special focus on the packaging industry – and offers a platform for exchange on new technologies and ways to increase the efficiency of industrial processes. Aicomp's goal is to help shape the future of the packaging industry in a sustainable way through innovation and continuous optimization.
The 2026 event will focus on the latest developments in artificial intelligence and sustainable production. Aicomp itself focuses on key topics in product configuration and how these optimizations are made possible in all areas of the company. In addition, completely new technological approaches, such as AI-supported production planning and cloud-based SaaS solutions for data management and corporate control, will be explained and discussed in detail.
Partnerships in focus: Aicomp expands its network with industry leaders
Aicomp focuses on the continuous expansion of its partner network and therefore brings together numerous partner companies to present relevant solutions at the summit. Among the partners represented are well-known companies such as SAP, OMP, ORTEC and T.CON.
These partners will present their current technologies and solutions to meet the specific requirements of the packaging industry. SAP will show approaches on how existing systems can be gradually developed for building a smarter company – especially in the context of modern production planning. OMP focuses on optimizing the supply chain along the entire value chain – from production planning to manufacturing. ORTEC will present innovative solutions for efficient transport and route planning. T.CON focuses on the development of untapped production potential and shows how modern SAP technologies can be integrated into existing system landscapes in a targeted manner.
In this way, Aicomp and its partners contribute to the further development and improvement of the packaging industry through cooperation and the exchange of technologies and solutions.
