Challenge

The main challenge was the complexity of a trade fair circuit. Graphics and technological features had to be completely redefined: customers needed access to a relationship platform that connects companies to the entire system of innovation. The platform needed to include digital players, startups, incubators, accelerators, training courses, and registration for events.
