In this context, Advanced Factories will once again connect startups with venture capital and industrial companies at the tenth edition of the Industry Startup Forum. From May 5th to 7th, the most innovative startups will be able to present their projects to industrial corporations seeking solutions to address the current challenges of the industrial sector. Any startup, entrepreneur, or technology center with innovative solutions in robotics, industrial automation, AI, mixed reality, IoT, industrial cloud, data analytics, or cybersecurity, among others, applied to various industries such as automotive, food and beverage, metal, textiles, mobility, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, can submit their application for the Industry Startup Forum until March 27, 2026.
The winning startup will receive a free booth at Advanced Factories 2027 and a slot at the Industry 4.0 Congress. Last year, Tailor Surgery won the Industry Startup Forum for its technology that combines diagnostics and 3D printing to create personalized bone models, optimizing surgical planning and improving accuracy and efficiency in the operating room. Alongside Tailor Surgery, the finalists presented solutions with strong industrial applications, such as autonomous drones for heavy logistics, IoT platforms for advanced monitoring, energy management systems for industrial plants, and augmented reality tools for maintenance and training, reflecting the diversity and transformative potential of the ecosystem.
