FutureTec Hamburg

FutureTec is a trade fair dedicated to digital sovereignty, modern information technologies and forward-looking transformation strategies. It is specifically designed for decision-makers from the SME sector, public administration and the social economy, providing a practical platform to help organisations navigate complex technology decisions and shape their digital future with confidence.

FutureTec is organised by Viakom GmbH, an experienced provider of event management services, industry conferences and business networking platforms. With a strong focus on knowledge sharing, innovation and professional networking, Viakom creates an environment where technology providers, experts and end users can exchange ideas, discuss challenges and develop solutions to support successful digital transformation.

The event takes place at Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion. This distinctive venue gives the exhibition a unique character, combining cutting-edge technology topics with one of Northern Germany’s most recognised event locations. As a leading centre for business, logistics and technology, Hamburg provides an ideal setting for an event of this nature. The city is widely regarded as a major hub for digital innovation, media, IT services and international commerce, reinforcing the exhibition’s significance well beyond the regional level.

FutureTec focuses on key topics including infrastructure and cloud technologies, data and platform strategies, artificial intelligence and automation, modern communication and collaboration solutions, cybersecurity, compliance, and the strategic evaluation of open-source and proprietary technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on how businesses, public-sector organisations and institutions can reduce digital dependencies, future-proof technology decisions and build resilient IT environments. The programme is complemented by presentations, panel discussions and expert-led sessions covering the latest developments in digital transformation, cloud computing, IT infrastructure, the modern workplace, communications and IT services, and deep-tech innovation.

Exhibitors showcase a broad range of products and services, including cloud and data centre solutions, software platforms, data management systems, cybersecurity technologies, AI applications, automation solutions, communication and collaboration tools, managed services, consulting expertise, and digital transformation and change management strategies. As a result, visitors gain valuable insights into current technologies, real-world use cases and practical strategic options.

The exhibitor base is drawn primarily from the fields of information technology, software development, cloud services, cybersecurity, telecommunications, consulting, digital transformation, data management and artificial intelligence. Visitors include managing directors, IT leaders, CIOs, CDOs, digital transformation managers, public-sector professionals and representatives of social-sector organisations. This creates a highly qualified audience with a strong interest in innovation, investment and strategic technology decision-making.

Highlights of the event include high-level keynote presentations, practical best-practice case studies, expert panel discussions and extensive networking opportunities between solution providers and end users. Knowledge exchange and the development of sustainable digital transformation strategies remain at the heart of the event. At present, no information is available regarding dedicated competitions or award ceremonies.

As the host venue, Volksparkstadion offers modern infrastructure, spacious event facilities and excellent accessibility. Visitors can easily reach the venue via the A7 and A23 motorways, Hamburg Central Station with its comprehensive public transport connections, or Hamburg International Airport. Together, these factors make FutureTec an ideal forum for productive dialogue on the digital future of businesses, public institutions and organisations.

The FutureTec will take place on Thursday, 08. October 2026 in Hamburg.
