Industry Forum 2025: new beginnings instead of demolition in the Chinese Year of the Wood Snake

The Industry Forum returns for the 23rd time in 2025: On March 25 & 26, 2025, experts and industry leaders will meet under the motto “Industrial AI and Trends” in the WWK Arena in Augsburg.

2025 promises to be a special year for the Industry Forum and its visitors. There are plenty of gloomy and negative forecasts and news on almost all information channels. This is reason enough for us to step on the gas even more and support you with clever digitalization strategies. In addition to use cases and concrete practical examples of industrial AI, we offer a stage for best practices and trends.

Over 25 experts will be sharing their specialist knowledge with visitors to the trade fair on two stages in the WWK Arena. Among them are thought leaders from market leaders such as SAP, Nikon SLM Solutions, Harmonic Drive as well as numerous associations and many more. Participants can also look forward to exciting networking and knowledge sharing with exhibitors and speakers from the fields of mechanical and plant engineering, mechanics, electrical engineering and architecture.
As always, the event will be rounded off by a trade exhibition of numerous CADENAS partners, who will present their software solutions or current research results.

Another highlight of the trade fair will be the presentation of the CADENAS Awards, which recognize outstanding achievements in the industry.

The renowned and popular evening event will once again round off the first day. With good food, a relaxed atmosphere and entertaining interactive attractions, discussions and new acquaintances can be deepened. For now, we can only reveal so much about the theme: For one evening, we will take you on a journey to Asia. Here we make direct reference to the aforementioned Year of the Wooden Snake.

Wood: The wood element stands for growth, expansion and a clear focus on further development. It is also associated with creativity and flexibility, which complements the calm, strategic character of the snake.

Combination with the snake: The combination of wood and snake brings a balance between strategic thinking and drive, which could make 2025 a year characterized by sound planning and clever implementation.
