In recent years, ERF has been organised in Bucharest, Malaga, Rotterdam, Odense and this year in Rimini. The next host city, Stuttgart, has a lot to offer.
Germany’s sixth largest city by population size is renowned for its robust industrial base, especially in automotive, automation, and robotics sectors. It is home to several industrial giants, notably Mercedes-Benz, Bosch, and Porsche, and positions itself at the heart of Europe’s industrial innovation. The region is also home to leading research institutions, including Fraunhofer Institutes, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, and the University of Stuttgart. These institutions drive pioneering research in robotics, AI, and manufacturing technologies. There’s a thriving ecosystem for robotics and AI. As such, its convergence of academia, research, and industry presents a unique opportunity for fruitful collaboration. Add to that its well-connected central European location and a rich heritage, both cultural and technological, and it’s clear that Stuttgart offers broad appeal to ERF visitors from state-of-the-art robotics facilities to a vibrant city life.
