The 3rd Annual PRIME Summit ended on a high with over 200 Packaging Industry professionals comprising Brand Owners, Convert- ers and Manufacturers-Suppliers attending to discuss, learn and share the latest trends and best practices as the industry heads towards
a more promising and challenging future.
True to its expectation and forecast, delegates at PRIME Summit 2019 were able to experience astounding views at every session.
The summit offered attendees an opportunity to be enlightened with thought-provoking presentations from global industry leaders in packaging whilst it was a worthy platform to network, relax, and learn from each other.
The setting for our 2019 PRIME Summit was unique with the focus on 4 key facets of the industry:
•Packaging design and innovation
•Industry 4.0: Automation in Packaging
•Packaging towards a Circular Economy
•Packaging Food Safety
The goals and key takeaways from the Summit included providing focused high-level learning in all the 4 key areas as above.
Packaging towards a Circular Economy took the key focus as Brand Owners, Converters and manufacturers had a common goal to achieve which is to make products that are consumer receptive and have a common goal of achieving recyclability and reduced waste with minimalism taking center stage.
The opportunity to connect with peers in the field was ranked the most important aspect of attending PRIME Summit, and attendees had ample opportunities to network with other global leaders and discuss issues pertinent to the business and technology challenges of their relevant sector.
In line with the current trends that rule the world of packaging and keeping in mind the Middle East region’s move towards innovation and sustainability, PRIME Summit in its third year unlocked the full potential of contemporary technologies and industry best practices thereby defining the road map for organizations to make the seamless shift towards automation and circular economy. Massive work is in progress within the realm of Circular Economy. Whilst different streams of thought are emerging, bringing a common thread is the need of the hour. That would eventually reduce the clutter that prevails
Deb Debabrata Business & Technology Editor of Packaging MEA said, Massive work is in progress within the realm of Circular Economy. Whilst different streams of thought are emerging, bringing a common thread is the need of the hour. That would eventually reduce the clutter that prevails Even if you couldn’t attend the summit, members can access all conference materials including speaker presentations by sending us a request mail to usha@packagingmea.com.
We hope you’ll make plans to attend our next PRIME Summit 2020 which is scheduled to be held on the 15-16 September 2020.
