The Publishing Industry Is Entering a New Technological Era
Publishing is undergoing one of the most significant transformations in its history. Advances in artificial intelligence, automation, digital production workflows, and new media formats are fundamentally reshaping how content is created, produced, distributed, and consumed.
From AI-assisted writing and translation to digital asset management, immersive reading formats, and data-driven marketing, technology is becoming central to the future of publishing.
Yet despite this transformation, technology often remains on the margins of traditional publishing events, where the primary focus continues to be copyright trading and rights negotiations.
BookTech was created to change that.

BookTech exists to bring the technology layer of publishing into the spotlight.
By creating a dedicated platform within major international book fairs, BookTech enables publishers, technology providers, and industry innovators to engage directly with the tools and ideas shaping the future of the industry.
