#IMM2025/26 Kick-Off
Industry meets Makers is Kicking off its 10th Round – And You’re Invited!
About IMM
Industry meets Makers (IMM) connects leading industrial companies with creative minds from the maker scene to jointly develop solutions for real-world technology challenges in the fields of AI, robotics, IoT, and Industry 4.0 – with the aim of establishing long-term collaborations beyond the five-month project phase.
Kick-off for the Anniversary Edition
The countdown to IMM’s 10th anniversary round has begun! Join us in Bratislava for the official kick-off – for the first time outside Austria, as part of our new Twin City Hub initiative.
At the event, companies and organizations will present their Future Tech Challenges – real, visionary tasks that creative tinkerers, developers, and innovators will work on together over the coming months to find solutions.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, want to meet potential partners, or want to get started right away, we look forward to hearing from you!
