FIRST is a high-level trend forum for those who turn technology into industrial leadership. Semiconductors are the foundation of economic resilience, technological sovereignty, security, and sustainable growth. With initiatives such as the EU Chips Act and Germany’s Hightech Agenda, the strategic importance of European microelectronics is greater than ever.

Join us for an inspiring event addressing challenges and opportunities of the industrial transformation in flat rolling and in roll shops. Listen to technical sessions with forward-thinking experts from the 10 partner companies jointly providing insights into new approaches and solutions.

Predictive maintenance goes hand in hand with the increasing digitalization across all industrial sectors. Particularly in cost-driven industries and within a challenging market environment, it has now established itself as a core maintenance strategy or is—in combination with other strategies—preferred for critical components. Thanks to intelligent sensor technology and sophisticated data analysis, understanding of a company’s own machinery is growing, and experienced maintenance technicians rave about the increased reliability, resilience, and availability of their processes. With its “Predictive Maintenance“ conference, TÜV SÜD provides a forum to learn about the latest state of the art and to facilitate exchange among experts from the chemical and process industries as well as the energy sector.

BAU, the World's Leading Trade Fair for Architecture, Materials and Systems, takes place every two years. Everyone involved in the international community for planning, building and designing buildings comes together here—i.e. architects, planners, investors, representatives of the industrial and commercial sectors, the building trades, etc. BAU bundles know-how from all branches of industry and trades at a high international level. It promotes a concrete exchange of ideas and information, acts as an intermediary and releases synergies. BAU has always been the perfect place for investment decisions. It makes it possible for exhibitors to enter new, international markets and gives all visitors access to genuine, practice-oriented future prospects and lasting added value.

Security can no longer be viewed in isolation. Emerging threats, technological advances, and geopolitical shifts require closer cooperation between security authorities, armed forces, policymakers, industry, and research institutions. Under the theme “Integrated Security for a Resilient Europe,” Enforce Tac addresses these developments and provides a platform for professional exchange on the security solutions of tomorrow.

After 30 years, signal processing returns to Germany! The 35th European Signal Processing Conference will take place in Darmstadt, the “Science City” at the heart of the Rhine-Main region. As EURASIP’s flagship event, EUSIPCO is Europe’s leading forum for sharing ideas, exploring breakthroughs, and connecting academia, industry, and early-career researchers.

The International Conference on Non-Destructive Testing for Next Generation 2027 (NDT NEXT 2027) will be held under the theme “Smart and Sustainable Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) through Strategic Synergy.” This conference aims to promote the introduction of cutting-edge technologies in the field of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and foster diverse collaborations to address social challenges.
