The European Robotics Forum is being held this year in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, from 28-30 June 2022. This 3-day event is one of the most influential events for the robotics and AI community in Europe.
The forum is a unique meeting point for engineers, academics, entrepreneurs, investors, as well as end-users and policy makers in the field of robotics from all over Europe and beyond. Their 2400m2 exhibition floor will provide exhibitors and attendees an unique opportunity to interact in between the many talks, keynotes, panels and interactive activities.
