Michael Baumeister

The EMO in Hanover once again proved to me that our industry is not only talking about the future – it is shaping it every single day. Three aspects stood out in particular: 🔹 Nachwuchsstiftung Maschinenbau – The next generation is at the heart of our mission. Without young talent inspired by technology and manufacturing, sustainable growth will not be possible. This is where the foundation is laid for the future of our industry. 🔹 umati Smart Factory – Interoperability is not a “nice to have” but the very prerequisite for turning data into value. Only when machines and systems communicate can we unlock the true potential of AI. 🔹 VDW & CECIMO – Together, we are driving the Manufacturing of the Future. Europe has a unique opportunity to combine technological leadership with responsibility and openness.   My conclusion: Without data and interoperability, there is no AI. The future is not something waiting ahead – it is already here. Our task is to embrace it, ramp up to the next level, and reconnect the world. EMO has made one thing clear: we are ready.
