Are you interested in technological visions? Do you follow industrial development and think about what technologies and innovations of the present times are here to stay and which ones might run to a dead end? If you are interested in bionics, virtual and augmented reality, cognitive robotics or digitization of industry then we would like to invite you to our business breakfast – Technological visions in industry.
It is a unique opportunity to meet with representatives of technological visionaries from industrial companies, scientists as well as start-ups and to peek under the lid of technological innovations that are slowly but surely changing the world as we know it. An exclusive business breakfast with a limited number of guests represents a rare opportunity to learn more about cutting edge technologies and a breakthrough research and offers a chance to ask our guests anything you wanted to know about the topic.
Date: November 11, 2019; 9:00 – 11:30
