About the Innovation Forum
This annual conference 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 information on 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 discuss the latest factory automation technology developments, challenges, and solutions.
Each year, we select one project to honor the drivers for innovation by rewarding them with the 'Innovation Award for Automation' at the popular AND dinner party.
Event Review 2021 - DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AT ITS BEST
The Innovation Forum for Automation stands for an excellent opportunity for networking and personal exchange between industry experts. We will continue on this path with a completely digital event.
To address the increasing interest in automation while respecting the current, worldwide travel and contact restrictions, our next steps are dedicated to transform the forum into a series of digital events in the first quarter of 2021.
Each of the four partner companies of the AND Automation Network Dresden - Fabmatics, Kontron AIS, SYSTEMA and XENON - will host one free online event.
The link tying it all together is the mission we are committed to: Keeping the community connected and up to date with new automation trends across high-tech industries and innovative projects.
…and rest assured: The famous evening event and the personal networking will return!

In 2009 I attended the innovationsforum for the first time. Since then I enjoyed being a regular guest of the event in Dresden. Besides the numerous interesting talks and presentations , the innovationsforum for automation is an ideal opportunity to exchange ideas and knowledge with colleagues from other companies, suppliers and to networking in personal conversation. The two-day program is entertaining and the evening event pleasantly tops off the forum.
