The industry forum brings together academic, industry and government participants to discuss topics at the intersection of academia and industry, with the aim of strengthening ties, building networks, and fostering entrepreneurship in robotics and automation.

This year's edition of the industry forum will include sessions on Tech Transfer from Academia to Industry and Transitioning from Academia to Industry. The forum will feature talks by leading academic researchers who have successfully transferred their research into commercial products or spinoff companies, as well as leading industry roboticists sharing their insights on transitioning from academia to industry. Both sessions will include a panel discussion to discuss successful paths to tech transfer and academia-industry collaboration, and the diversity of career paths in robotics, including transitions between academia and industry.

The forum will also feature the award ceremony of the IEEE/IFR Invention & Entrepreneurship Award for Outstanding Achievements in Commercializing Innovative Robot and Automation Technology (IERA Award).

The detailed program schedule can be found here:

We invite industry and academic participants interested in collaboration, networking and industrial career paths in robotics to attend the forum. Ample time for informal discussion with the speakers will be allocated through a lunch and reception offered to the participants.
