We cordially invite you to the AWA-PTB Discussion 2026. On the first day, we will discuss opportunities and challenges of digitalization, such as AI-supported applications and the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the revision of MID/NAWID. The second day will be devoted to discussing specific application examples that AI already offers today.

The New Year's reception will begin on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. at the Steigenberger Parkhotel (Maschinenhalle).
