Recap

Meaningful professional exchange in a warm, familiar setting, dynamic networking in an inspiring environment, and real-world insights into the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in industry — all this defined our very first Industrial Technology Summit in May 2025.

„I felt very comfortable at the event – there were plenty of opportunities to engage with peers, suppliers, and customers. As is often the case, the key insight was: it’s all about people. And I believe that’s what matters most – not losing sight of the human element alongside the technology."
