As AI transforms the industry, we connect users and providers for a practical and open exchange on new technologies and real applications. Participate live when the Industrial Technology Summit 2026 takes off with a spotlight on the key drivers of the industrial future: AI & Machine Learning.
Important note: The event will be held in German.
This dynamic knowledge and networking format brings together leading industry players on 19 May 2026, in Stuttgart and for a transparent and forward-looking exchange on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
Not theory, but practice. Not vision, but application. That is the core of our Summit.
We want to explore the beneficial use of technologies in automation – with a central question in mind: When do AI and ML offer real value and when might other technologies be a better fit? What does all this mean for employees, leaders, and the way organizations are structured? That too is a conversation we need to have together.

Recap of 2025
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."
