INHORGENTA MUNICH | Opening

Klaus Dittrich, CEO and Chairman Messe München: "INHORGENTA MUNICH is in the ascendant. We are delighted to have acquired more than 200 new exhibitors. We will be welcoming 1026 exhibitors at INHORGENTA. We are particularly pleased that, in Hall B1, where Fine Jewellery is located, we even have 14% more exhibitors, well-known brands have come to INHORGENTA for the first time. We have taken on a partner country for the first time at INHORGENTA: Poland. In Poland a lot of amber jewellery is produced, and we are very pleased that a special exhibition in Hall C2 will showcase some really wonderful amber jewellery. In our lecture forum we placed the topic of digitalization at the center. Many speakers there are pointing out the opportunities that digitalization offers - but also the need for action." Stephan Lindner, President Bundesverband Juweliere: "I believe that the topic of "digital" is here to stay. Here, the big players have a very clear advantage – chain stores which can set up departments for it. But there are eight – or nine thousand retailers – it’s simply a problem of man-power to handle everything. If you’re on the ball, you’re in business."
