Klaus Beetz,
Energy-efficient, high-performance electric linear direct drives for tasks with the highest demands on precision, dynamics and flexibility
Even before the start of the actual forum, we invite you to an exclusive fireside chat on September 22, 2026.
What can our human brain do that artificial intelligence can't (yet)? Dr. Henning Beck, neuroscientist, biochemist and German Science Slam champion, will take the stage for you and get to the bottom of this question.
The evening will focus on the diverse transformation tasks in production. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss future challenges in production with guests from business, science and politics and to expand their network. The highlights of the fireside chat are an outstanding keynote speech, a fishbowl panel discussion and a joint dinner to round off the event.
The perfect way to get in the mood for the International Forum Mechatronics.
We look forward to seeing you there. Registration is free of charge and will be activated shortly.
