01 — About
The technology layer of publishing, finally in focus.
Publishing is one of the world’s oldest industries — and one of its most actively transforming. Artificial intelligence, digital workflows, and new media formats are fundamentally reshaping how content is created, produced, distributed, and discovered. Yet at most traditional book fairs and publishing events, technology remains an afterthought.
BookTech exists to change that.
We are an international collective of publishing professionals dedicated to bringing the technology conversation to the heart of the publishing world — with a particular focus on emerging markets and the Global South, where digital transformation is accelerating fastest.
