The physical world
Atoms
Sessions on the machines, products and infrastructure that power the physical world.
The Future of Industry Starts Here
The world’s leading event for Industrial AI.
14–15 April 2027,Nockherberg, Munich
Welcome to the age of Industrial AI
Europe has always been strong in the world of atoms.
We build the machines, products and infrastructure that power the physical world. For generations, engineering and industry have been at the heart of Europe’s strength.
25%
of Europe’s GDP comes from industry, the backbone of an economy that creates millions of jobs.
But the rules of industrial competition are being rewritten.
Geopolitics, shifting supply chains and AI are redefining how industrial companies compete. And while AI has transformed the world of bits, its biggest opportunity may still lie ahead: transforming the physical world with procurement at the center, connecting materials, suppliers, cost, risk and production. This is where atoms meet bits.
The next industrial edge starts in procurement.
The world of atoms is meeting the world of bits and procurement is becoming a new source of industrial advantage. For two days in Munich, Atoms & Bits brings together leaders in procurement, industry, technology and AI to shape what comes next.
Europe, ours to build.
“Atoms & Bits is where Europe’s industrial leaders and its boldest founders finally sit at the same table.”
