Visit the Innovation Hub

The German Technology Day Innovation Hub is a collective showcase of innovations by our exhibitors. It hopes to help visitors spark ideas and allow them to see new ways to use automation hardware and process solutions from the German automation leaders hosting the event.

Grand contest

The GTD hosts are organizing a grand contest during the event for attendees. All participants at the Mississauga and Montreal events can enter the contest to win prizes worth $2500, by visiting each booth and completing a “passport”. The hosts will conduct a draw from all submissions and offer cash prizes to the lucky winners. The winners will be notified via email after the event.

Networking centre

This year GTD has four sponsors for the Mississauga event, and two sponsors for the Montreal event. The Mississauga event will also include a networking centre where visitors can spend some one-on-one time with the various partners and sponsors of the event.
