New formats – new insights
The munich_i high-tech summit celebrated its virtual premiere in June 2021. This globally unique joint project of automatica, Messe München and the Munich School of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MSRM) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) connects science and research with politics and the industry in a targeted manner. What is special about it? munich_i not only reflects the global state of research in robotics and AI, but also debates ethical issues surrounding the interaction of human and artificial intelligence – making it a format of relevance to society at large.
With the business and dialog platform automatica sprint the community gained a digital industry forum of unlimited reach in June 2021 – a short agile sprint preceding the leading exhibition automatica 2022. With its exhibitor brand rooms as well as around 100 presentations, live demonstrations, panel discussions and the successful premiere of munich_i, automatica sprint offered plenty of impetus and inspiration – and above all: a long-awaited opportunity for exchange and business. A format that set a precedent: Proven digital offerings will also be found at the world’s leading trade fair in 2022 – to facilitate participation of new international target groups who cannot be there in person.
