This October, the world’s largest international book fair will partner with Samsung Electronics, a global leader in mobile technology, in a new collaboration that will highlight the convergence of mobile technology and the global publishing industry. Over the course of the Frankfurt Book Fair, the impressive content experiences that can be brought to life through innovative technology and solutions will be showcased in unique and experiential ways for members of the industry and consumers to enjoy and take part in.
Juergen Boos, director of the Frankfurt Book Fair said: “We are delighted that Samsung will be the new Innovation Partner of the Fair. As Samsung continues to embrace new forms of storytelling and evolve the reading experience of millions of users, we think that the publishing industry can profit from this collaboration in many ways. At the same time, we also know that the book trade has a lot to offer the mobile technology sector, especially as an important content provider. As the world’s biggest book fair, we think we are well-placed to open many important doors to the key movers and shakers in the content industry and help facilitate some exciting business conversations going forward.”

At Samsung, our inspiration to innovate comes directly from what people want and need, and we are excited to showcase the incredible experiences that our best-in-class technology can deliver to both publishers and consumers alike at the Frankfurt Book Fair.”
