From 8 to 10 November 2022, the leading exhibition for smart and digital automation in Nuremberg will be offering the latest innovations and a diverse program of presentations on the latest topics in the industry, as well as a subject talk by Minister President Dr. Markus Söder.
Two weeks before the start of the exhibition, a good 1000 companies have confirmed their attendance (30 % of which are international) and will use the opportunity to present their product innovations, maintain existing business contacts and make new ones.
Visitors to the exhibition will be able to discover solutions from all areas of automation: drive and control technology, sensor technology, power supply, and mechanical infrastructure, as well as software and IT in manufacturing. In addition to market leaders such as Siemens, Phoenix Contact, Rittal, Beckhoff and Bosch Rexroth, a large number of specialised SMEs and innovative start-ups will also be presenting their products and services to the entire industry.
Interested parties can also look forward to an exciting program of presentations at the exhibition forum in Hall 5 and the Technology Stage powered by the trade associations VDMA/ZVEI in Hall 3, with the exhibition forum offering a platform for showcasing product innovations and the Technology Stage focusing on expert talks and panel discussions on current issues in automation.
