Innovation Forum for Automation 2025

The 22nd edition of the conference took place in Dresden, Germany last week and I had the honor to play an active part. Together with a few of my colleagues from Fabmatics Germany we hosted the break out session

Test Wafers – the hidden GEMS in your FAB

It was a packed room and all three presentations stimulated a very active Q&A session which clearly showed that the topic is still hot in the industry. This was the session layout:

On day 2 of the event I had the opportunity to participate in an expert panel to discuss hot topics of the semiconductor industry – specifically for the none-leading edge eco system.



On both days plenty of interesting talks were given – but one was especially eyebrow raising in my mind:

Dr. Matthias Meyer from the Fraunhofer-Institute talked about soon to be established regulations for cyber security in the European market space. If you are active there – please have a look here:


Finally, a few impressions from the event – a big thank you to Automation Network Dresden/Photographer: Sven Claus, who was providing the pictures for this post.
