ERP News – worldwide – erpnews.com – CeBit will take place once again in 2016, running from March 14th until the 18th, and the chosen lead theme for the annual trade IT event is ‘d!conomy: join – create – succeed”.
“The new theme will put the focus squarely on people and their role as deciders and creative designers, which puts them right at the center of the processes that are driving the digital transformation,” said Oliver Frese, managing board member of Deutsche Messe from CeBIT.
Staged annually in Hannover, Germany, CeBit will showcase innovations and products from various vendors that will be linked to digitisation.
In addition, CeBit is expanding its Scale11 startup platform, which premiered at the last event.
Frese added: “Scale11 will feature next year as an even more powerful platform for the supporting ecosystem that exists around innovations, entrepreneurs, established companies and investors.”

The digitization of the economy is proceeding apace. CeBIT 2016 highlighted the immense opportunities afforded by the “d!conomy”, but also the immense effort required to become “digitized” – in other words, the keynote theme was right on target. A stroll through the halls confirmed the tradeshow’s unique coverage of the entire bandwidth of digitization as well as its distinctively consistent focus on IT innovations geared to business applications. The beneficiaries of this year’s enhanced business focus included some 3,300 exhibitors from 70 nations.
