Automation Technologies Styria and GMAR have joined forces in order to establish a new conference – EUROPEAN ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION TALKS – dedicated to trending topics in Automation and Robotics.

At the 5th edition 170 PRODUCERS, USERS, DEVELOPERS & SYSTEMINTEGRATORS from Austria and various other European Countries are meeting at the Styrian Chamber of Commerce. At this year‘s ERAT one will not only have the possibility to listen to NEW SOLUTIONS MADE IN EUROPE but also have the opportunity to network with participants such as producers, system integrators, users (SME & Large Enterprises), potential users, and scientists from central Europe.

B2B-Meetings

The B2B talks offer a relaxed setting for networking with interesting discussion partners: manufacturers & developers, researchers & users as well as system integrators.
