The German Association for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies (VDE) launches a flagship event at this year's CEBIT-- the VDE Tec Summit, a 2-day summit held at the on-site convention centre.

Cebit tec eventThe summit consists of two main events. The "Tec Innovation Tank" covers future-defining technologies. Aimed at students and young professionals, it gives participants the opportunities to meet companies searching for recruits, and involves debates on key technologies such as AI, data analytics, security and robotics, and their impact on the energy, manufacturing, mobility and lifestyle sectors.

Meanwhile the "Tec Meets Science" event brings scientists from universities, research institutes and companies to try to figure out how the world will be like in 5 to 7 years' time. As one might expect, the debate will focus on intelligent automation, AI, mixed reality, the future of ICT, smart data and security.

“CEBIT’s new format, strong business focus and comprehensive coverage of the most important digital innovation themes have greatly broadened the show’s appeal and extended its reach to completely new target audiences," the organisers say. "Similarly, our partnership with the VDE has further boosted the wealth of content and ideas our visitors can expect to find in Hannover this June.”

CEBIT 2018 opens for the press and conference attendees on 11 June 2018, before the Hannover Exhibition Centre opens to the public on 12 June. The Tec Summit takes place on 14 and 15 June.
