In just five weeks’ time, the Germany city of Stuttgart will become Europe’s robotics capital. Hotel rates will increase so if you haven’t booked your accommodation yet, do it now.
Within a packed programme of activities to attract the wider European robotics community, the latest news is that the Enterprise Europe Network will offer ERF participants the opportunity to make one-to-one business connections by attending its B2B matchmaking event. Already a success at previous events such as ERF 2023 in Odense, B2B matchmaking enables participants to get to know key players as well as latest robotics/AI innovations and solutions. It also serves as a showcase and an opportunity to discuss products, projects, services and business needs with other event participants. It’s also a place to discover and share views with experts within their business field. Not least it’s a place to be seen. Registering for B2B matchmaking is easy. It’s all here at: https://eurobotics-forum-2025.b2match.io/
Site visits are another of ERF’s ever more popular features. ERF participants are warmly invited to visit important players within Stuttgart’s robotics ecosystem. Places are limited, though, so registration is essential. We offer the following tours:
