In addition to the massive display of innovations at AMB, the trade fair will also be organising the ‘Digital Way’ show, a dedicated two day event for industry players to stay updated on the latest happenings in the field of digitalisation of processes. The session will support and also make the users aware of the innumerable benefits of this contemporary technology such as greater machine efficiency and cost savings.

Live demonstrations along with the opportunity to meet and network with over 50 exhibitors specialised in this field will be a win-win situation for all the visitors. With the assistance of this session, users will get a clear idea and figure out how the process of digitalisation can be incorporated into their own production processes and boost output.

The ‘Innovation Tour of Metal Working’ is another special area that is held regularly at the show. Organised by the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) of the Technical University of Darmstadt the tour will be arranged across an area of 540 sq m in Hall 5. With a motto of ‘Experience future trends’ the segment will be dominated with industry stalwarts that have come up with innovative solutions in the midst of future machining challenges. This is expected to prove beneficial for visitors to undertake new challenging projects and also learn from the leaders of the industry.

Another special show arranged by the fair for young people is VDW– Nachwuchsstiftung ("newcomer foundation"). The objective of the event is to motivate young people to join the machine tool industry. Live examples of products from the design to the production stage will be showcased to aspire young engineers to take up a career in the sector and also encourage others to join the same.
