About the Innovation Forum

The annual Innovation Forum for Automation has been organized by the Automation Network Dresden (AND) from Germany since 2004. Its member companies (Fabmatics, Kontron AIS, SYSTEMA and XENON) are dedicated to bringing you the latest insights into significant factory-automation projects as well as new automation technologies spanning various industries with a focus on semiconductor. 

The 2-day-event provides a platform for more than 300 international executives, managers, engineers, and researchers to dive into the latest factory automation technology developments, challenges, and solutions. In addition to professional knowledge gain, it also offers an intimate, friendly, and open-minded space for networking and fruitful exchange amongst other automation enthusiasts.  

To honor the drivers for innovation, each year, we select one project for the 'Innovation Award for Automation'.
