Industrial AI Conference Enters Its Second Round

In the run-up to HANNOVER MESSE 2025, Deutsche Messe AG is organizing the Industrial AI Conference on January 22 in Frankfurt, following on from the successful event in 2024. Next year, the AI Conference will be divided into three tracks: Business, Engineering and Deep Tech.

The Industrial Conference will be the ideal platform for exchanging information on the current state of knowledge with experts, and learning from best-practice solutions.

Rich Walker, director of the Shadow Robot Company, has accepted the invitation to give the opening keynote speech. He and his team have developed what is probably the best robotic hand, and he has been working successfully with Google DeepMind for years. While the Shadow Robot Company developed the hardware, Google DeepMind concentrated on the AI. The result of this collaboration is a hand equipped with numerous sensors that provide deep insights into the robot's environment and how it works.

After the keynote speech, participants will have the opportunity to absorb information in the three parallel tracks of Business, Engineering and Deep Tech. There will also be face-to-face discussions with the experts about current challenges.

The Deep Tech track will include, among other experts, Marco Huber, head of the AI Progress Center at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation, and Prof. Jakub Tomczak from Eindhoven University of Technology, who will be speaking on the topic of "A Simulink for GenAI Systems."

Peter Seeberg and Robert Weber from the Industrial AI Podcast will be content partners and moderators.
