Topics Shaping the Future
Content-wise, Tube 2026 is defi ned by
profound transformation. Digitalization,
automation and sustainable production
processes are reshaping the industry.
Topics such as artifi cial intelligence, robot-
ics and energy effi ciency are becoming
increasingly important.
Another key focus is the development of
new infrastructures, particularly in the
context of hydrogen and renewable energy.
The expansion of these networks places
high demands on materials, processing
technologies and quality standards. Here,
too, the ITA contributes its international
perspective and supports the exchange of
best practices and innovations.
Bridging Industry, Research and Market
Development
The role of the ITA extends far beyond
that of a traditional industry association.
It acts as a bridge between industry and
scientifi c research to support sustainability
in the tube industry. At Tube, this function
becomes especially visible – in expert dis-
cussions, conference formats and informal
encounters that generate new impulses for
the future development of the sector.
Even where the ITA is not always prom-
inently featured in individual program
items, its infl uence can clearly be felt
behind the scenes. It helps set the agenda,
initiates discussions and brings together
international perspectives.
More Than Presence – Active Co-Creation
The ITA’s participation in Tube 2026 is
therefore far more than a simple presence
at a trade fair. It represents active co-cre-
ation, strategic orientation and a commit-
ment to advancing and connecting the
global tube industry.
For members and industry stakeholders
alike, this presents a clear opportunity:
Tube 2026 is not just a place for informa-
tion, but a space for dialogue, positioning
and new partnerships – with the ITA acting
as a key driving force in the background.
