First introduced by Glaston at GPD 2017, Step Change has in the meantime been established for fostering innovations across the glass industry value chain. It wants to serve as a bridge between ambitious start-up and scale-up entrepreneurs and industry professionals from around the globe.
The programme continued with 12 presentations from each of the participating companies. Along with bringing their innovations to the personalized and eco-conscious booths, each company had a chance to present its innovation from the stage to a crowd of glass business professionals and enthusiasts.
These are the start-ups that were present
