According to TCA, a significant number of the participating exhibitors for this year's InnoVEX Online 2021 focus on: AI, Health & Biotech, AR/VR/XR, Enterprise Software, Big Data & Cloud, IoT, and more. All of the topics are in high demand as companies constantly look for trends in digital transformation, particularly ones driven by the latest economic trends. Especially because innovation now has moved away from creating wholly new innovative technologies and products; but instead to upgrade existing technology and products as required by companies and society.

This transformation not only allows startups to gain long term income through providing products and services, but also through cooperation with mature companies to enable the companies and society as a whole to carry out and plan their digital transformation.
