Durst NEXT Technology Festival: 90 years of innovation and a look ahead

On June 25 and 26, 2026, Durst Group opened its doors in Brixen, South Tyrol, to celebrate 90 years of innovation with the Durst NEXT Technology Festival.

The festival brought together customers, partners, speakers, employees and guests from around the world to explore the next chapter of industrial production. Across panels, talks, technology experiences and community formats, the program focused on Industrial Intelligence, digital production, automation, AI, robotics, advanced materials, sustainable production and the future of print.

Under the guiding idea “Our World is Printed”, Durst NEXT connected the company’s heritage with a clear view ahead: from precision hardware and digital workflows to intelligent, connected and adaptive production environments.

A central theme of the festival was the introduction of KYVERIS, Durst’s platform for Industrial Intelligence in Digital Print Production. KYVERIS reflects Durst’s approach to connecting hardware, software, data and process knowledge in order to support more intelligent and efficient production systems.

The event also highlighted the strength of the Durst ecosystem – from customers and partners to technology companies, entrepreneurs, researchers and industry experts. Together, they shared perspectives on how production is evolving and what it means to build the next generation of industrial technologies.

Durst NEXT was more than an anniversary event. It was a platform for dialogue, exchange and experience – and a look at what comes next.
