About the Event
Welcome to ERF2025, where German precision meets robotic innovation! For the first time in its history, the European Robotics Forum lands in Stuttgart - and boy, did they pick the perfect city! Where else would you find more robots per square meter than humans? (Okay, maybe not yet, but we’re getting there!) 🇩🇪
This year’s theme is “Boosting the Synergies Between Robotics and AI for a Stronger Europe” - because apparently, robots and AI decided they’re better together than apart! With over 1000 participants and more than 60 sponsors and exhibitors, ERF2025 is set to be the biggest robotics gathering since that time all the Roombas decided to have a party!
