5-HT X-Linker 2024: SMART INDUSTRY CONNECT

The current format of our X-Linker series deals with the latest trends and challenges in the field of smart production. What will the production of the future look like? What influence will technologies such as artificial intelligence and the like have?

By focusing on the operation of devices in the future, digital twins and digital product passports, we want to jointly drive forward visions of the future and promote the exchange between startups and the process industry to implement innovative solutions.

Before the day of the event, the startups will receive professional pitch training so that they are optimally prepared for their presentation. Here they will pitch in front of our community and can look forward to an exclusive speed dating session with relevant players from the process industry.

Our next 5-HT X-Linker "SMART INDUSTRY CONNECT" will be held digitally on October 17, 2024 and will focus on innovative solutions for the smart production of the future.
