The Innovation Day, which takes place annually in alternating years in Würzburg and Schweinfurt, has become an established event in the Mainfranken region. It brings together entrepreneurs, research institutions, and political representatives.

This year, the focus is on the topics of "automation of digital processes" and "AI."

Get to know experts from both universities and make personal contacts with your potential cooperation partners. In addition to a diverse lecture program in the morning, various masterclasses, workshops, and tours await you in the afternoon, which you can integrate directly into your daily work routine.

Be there and secure your spot at the event today! The event is free of charge.
