15th Innovation Forum for Automation

For the 15th year in a row, Automation Network Dresden (AND) has invited experts from around the globe to participate in their annual Innovation Forum for Automation in the Saxon state capital.

The anniversary event brought over 250 national and international guests from the commercial, industrial and research sectors to Dresden with the common goal of swapping insights on the latest technologies, sharing stories about successful new automation projects, and trading ideas about the current state of Industry 4.0-related developments.

A series of exclusive talks focused on the future of automation in the era of Industry 4.0 with insights from a diverse range of speakers in both the private sector and the scientific community. For the first time this year, the event's sponsors hosted a small in-house exhibition that was met with great interest.

The conference traditionally caps its first day with an evening event, held this year at Kurländer Palais in the heart of Dresden's beautiful old town. As is also customary, the managing directors of AND member companies gathered to honor the Innovation Award winner, which this year is Siltronic for its visionary automation activities.
