#VDMASummit - 2nd VDMA European Summit

Bright ideas for innovation, digital transformation and attracting talents

After an exciting “first time”  in 2024, the VDMA European Summit is entering its second round and will once again bring together the leading minds in European machinery and equipment manufacturing, this time on 17-18 March 2025 in beautiful Amsterdam.

Save the date now in your calendar and be curious for a get-together with bright ideas, bright people and bright networking!

How does geopolitics influence and shape business models in the engineering industry?
What opportunities and risks does artificial intelligence offer the industry?
And how do we attract the best talents for our companies?

In keeping with the inventive spirit of the host country, the Netherlands, the next VDMA European Summit will be all about shaping the future: be it new business models in and because of  geopolitical shifts and new concepts of trade & protectionism, technical developments with artificial intelligence or methods to nurture “natural intelligence”, getting the bright minds from in- & outside Europe to join our industry.

We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam!
 
Mon. 17.03.25 19:00 - 22:00 hrs.
Tue. 18.03.25 09:00 - 18:00 hrs.
