Hardware, Robotics & IoT Events in Europe

Hardware, robotics, and IoT events in Europe run a wider range than most categories, from evening workshops where beginners solder their first ESP32 weather station to week-long industrial trade shows. On one end sit the big anchor conferences: Embedded World in Nuremberg (probably the largest event of its kind in the world), Hannovermesse, Battery Tech Expo, Quantum Industry Day, IoT Tech Expo. On the other end sit the community workshops: 3D printing for beginners, laser-cutter training, drone filming workshops, Raspberry Pi and Arduino club nights, microbial fuel cell experiments, and the long tail of fab-lab and makerspace sessions that introduce new people to the tools.

Topics include firmware development (Rust on embedded, Zephyr, FreeRTOS), hardware design and prototyping (KiCad, EDA tools), robotics (ROS user groups, hobbyist and industrial robotics, drones), 3D printing and CNC communities, the RISC-V ecosystem, sensor networks and LPWAN (LoRa, NB-IoT), industrial IoT, broadcast and video-over-IP engineering (SMPTE ST-2110), energy and battery tech, and the growing "physical AI" conversation that bridges robotics with ML. Kids-focused robotics series also run regularly in Italy and elsewhere.

Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Delft, Eindhoven, Grenoble, and the Nordic capitals are strong hubs, but the community-workshop layer spreads much further. Ireland, Italy, Austria, and Belgium all run active calendars. Brainberg aggregates this broad range, so you can see the full European schedule, from evening Arduino sessions to week-long industrial trade shows.

Robot-Con @ Amsterdam's Biggest Basketball Arena

Amsterdam, 🇳🇱 Netherlands

🤖 Get ready for Robo Con @ Amsterdam's biggest basketball arena! We're hosting a massive robotics event! 🤖

🏀🏀🏀 We’ll have top robotics companies and student projects showing off their robots in Amsterdam's largest sports hall. We'll be transforming the city's biggest basketball arena (the stands can hold up to 3,000 people) into a robotics expo. So you can walk around the hall and the court, check out the robots, and network. The doors open at 16:00, although of course you can get there later.

🤖🤖🤖 We already have over 20 robots coming to Robo Con, including the TU Delft, VU, and UvA robotics departments, large companies like Monumental, Nebius, and Prosus, and six robotics startups.

🍿🍿🍿 We'll have some entertainment for this event, including a robot dance contest and a robot race! We also have a t-shirt cannon to fire free t-shirts into the crowd! The show will start around 18:00. But it's not just silly entertainment. We also have an excellent panel for this event discussing the cutting edge of AI in robotics.

🎤🎤🎤 The panel for this event features Sebas Visser, the founder and CTO of Monumental, and Pepijn Kooijmans, who leads Hugging Face's open-source robotics initiative. We'll announce the third and final panelist soon. Seb Vaessen will moderate the panel. Seb leads venture investing in Europe at Prosus, and is investing in robotics companies. After the panel ends, we'll go back to an open expo and networking until they kick us out.

❌❌❌ We're also partnering with the City of Amsterdam for this event, through Amsterdam Trade & Invest and StartupAmsterdam. The City of Amsterdam is committed to promoting deep tech and robotics. One example is the city's recent investment in the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HvA) robotics lab, which brings together students, researchers and startups. Learn more about this fresh initiative at Robo-Con!

​🅰️ℹ️ 🌊 Robo-Con Amsterdam is organized by AI on the Amstel. The AI on the Amstel meetup is Amsterdam's largest monthly AI event. We get 250-400+ people/month depending on the size of the venue that month. We go to a new location each month. Founded in 2024, we have over 6,500 members and a 4.7/5 rating on Meetup.

🤖🤖🤖 We held our first AI on the Amstel meetup on AI and robotics in February 2026, but the venue ultimately wasn't big enough for the topic! We hit the capacity of the space (pictures of the 400 people who attended), and we could only fit relatively small robot demos. So we're going MUCH bigger for v2 of the robotics meetup!

​📣📣 Finally, a shout-out to our meetup sponsor — Qwen! Qwen is the leading AI model family in China, and they now have a team in Europe. Want to learn more? Reach out to Kas or Daniel from the team based in the Netherlands.

Photography and video notice: like all of our events, photography and video recording will take place at this event. By attending, you acknowledge and consent to being photographed or filmed and to the use of these images and recordings for promotional and outreach purposes.

Azure IoT in der Praxis & Building a Cloud Platform (STACKIT)

Stuttgart, 🇩🇪 Germany

Wir laden euch herzlich zum nächsten Azure Meetup in Stuttgart ein. Dieses Mal dreht sich alles um Azure IoT in der Praxis und Building a Cloud Platform (STACKIT).
Besonders freuen wir uns, dieses Meetup gemeinsam mit der Cloud Platform Community Stuttgart auszurichten.

Freut euch auf einen technischen Abend mit praxisnahen Einblicken, Architektur-Diskussionen und echtem Erfahrungsaustausch aus dem Projektalltag.

Agenda:
Die Sprecher an diesem Abend werden sein:

  • Patrick Koss (STACKIT)
  • Felix Burkhard (Lunaris Digital Solutions)

Building a Cloud Platform Where Everything is Just Another Kubernetes Resource
​At STACKIT, we took the Kubernetes API and turned it into our entire platform control plane. Not just for running containers. For everything. S3 buckets, databases, DNS records, IAM credentials, even entire child Kubernetes clusters. All defined as YAML manifests. All managed via GitOps. All continuously reconciled by controllers.
​We started with Terraform like everyone else. It worked fine until our infrastructure got complex. Monolithic state files that locked the whole team. Slow applies that recalculated everything when we only needed to change one thing. Drift that only surfaced when someone remembered to run a plan.
​So we rebuilt the platform on Crossplane and ArgoCD. One management cluster provisions and orchestrates cloud infrastructure per environment. Developers get self-service APIs by applying Kubernetes resources. Ops teams enforce policies through admission webhooks. Everything reconciles in real-time. No external state to manage. No waiting for tickets to get unblocked.
​This is the production architecture. How it works, why we designed it this way, what went wrong during the migration, and what we'd change if we started over today.

Azure IoT in der Praxis: Von der Edge bis zur Auswertung
​IoT-Lösungen wirken auf den ersten Blick oft geradlinig. Ein Gerät sendet Daten, in der Cloud werden sie verarbeitet und am Ende irgendwo ausgewertet. In der Praxis entsteht aber schnell eine deutlich komplexere Landschaft mit Anforderungen rund um Anbindung, Entkopplung, Vorverarbeitung, Skalierung, Betrieb und Analyse.
​Der Vortrag gibt einen praxisnahen Überblick darüber, wie sich solche IoT-Architekturen in Azure sauber aufbauen und einordnen lassen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen typische Bausteine und Entscheidungsmuster entlang des gesamten Datenpfads, von der Edge über die Übertragung und Verarbeitung bis zur Speicherung und Auswertung.

Das Meetup findet in deutscher Sprache statt.
Essen und Trinken ist auf Selbstzahler-Basis.

Wann:
​17:45 Uhr - Ankunft & Socializing (Essensbestellung)
​18:30 Uhr - Abendessen
​19:15 Uhr - Session #1 (Patrick Koss)
​20:00 Uhr - Pause

Innovation Begins at Home - Andy Stanford-Clark

Southampton, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Andy Stanford-Clark is an IBM Distinguished Engineer, a Master Inventor with more than 45 patents, the leader of IBM's Quantum Ambassador programme in the UK, and an all-round IoT evangelist. He is the former CTO for IBM in the UK and Ireland.

IoT is at the heart of everything Andy does, and he has worked on Internet of Things technologies for more than 25 years, long before the term came into common use. One of Andy’s most significant achievements is as the co-inventor of MQTT, an open-source communications protocol that offers a scalable and cost-effective way to connect devices over the Internet, making it perfect for the Internet of Things. Originally designed for the oil and gas industry, this ISO-standard protocol is now widely used across all application areas of IoT. It’s also used by social media companies, so if you’ve ever used Facebook Messenger, you’ve used MQTT.

Outside of the workplace, Andy has numerous personal IoT projects on the go. These include managing his own 16th century smart home, bringing dinosaurs back to life, making sure antelopes stay warm at night, and making the Isle of Wight ferries tweet - the latter beginning as an IoT hack to kill time while waiting for a ferry that then took a quite unexpected turn.

More recently he has coined the term "Physical Digital Twin", and has made use of this in various applications from energy monitoring, to weather forecasting, to monitoring an autonomous ship sailing itself across the Atlantic ocean.

Andy holds a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics and a PhD in parallel computing from the University of East Anglia. He’s a visiting professor at the University of Newcastle, an honorary professor at the University of East Anglia, and an adjunct professor at the University of Southampton. He’s a Fellow of the British Computer Society, and makes regular media appearances and gives conference talks about IoT.

Humans, Agents, and Shor: Open Autoresearch for Quantum Circuit Optimization

Date and time: Oct 17 2026 Noon - 14:00 EDT ( 18:00 - 20:00 CET)
Title: Humans, Agents, and Shor: Open Autoresearch for Quantum Circuit Optimization
Abstract:
What happens when a hard scientific optimization problem is opened up to a community of humans and AI agents, with every proposed improvement checked automatically? In this talk, Dr. Bartosz Naskrecki will present ECDSA.Fail, an open effort to optimize the reversible secp256k1 point-addition circuit that forms a key bottleneck in Shor’s algorithm for attacking elliptic-curve cryptography.

Using a public evaluator, repository, and leaderboard, participants reduced the benchmark’s qubit–Toffoli product by 86.1%, reaching 1,151 logical qubits and about 1.30 million executed Toffoli gates at the paper’s cutoff. Dr.Naskrecki will highlight several of the circuit ideas behind this progress, including new approaches to reversible modular inversion, transcript compression, register sharing, and specialized arithmetic.
More broadly, Dr. Naskrecki will discuss Open Autoresearch: a model in which human judgment, AI-driven experimentation, and machine-checkable verification combine to produce cumulative, reproducible progress on difficult technical problems.

Speaker: Dr Bartosz Naskręcki is a graduate of Adam Mickiewicz University and specializes in number theory and algebraic geometry. After obtaining his doctorate in 2014, he completed several years of research internships in Bayreuth, Bavaria, Bristol, UK, and at the Dioscuri TDA Center in Warsaw. For over four years, he has been collaborating with Prof. Mariusz Jaskólski in the field of mathematical crystallography, which culminated in a sectional lecture at the European Crystallography Congress ECM 2025. In 2022 and 2023, he received the Crystallography Diamonds award twice, granted by the Crystallography Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is a co-author of the Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics. In 2025, he co-created the most difficult mathematical test for LLMs, the FrontierMath project. His mathematical problem was included in the most difficult variant of this Tier 4 test, which has so far resisted all the most powerful language models. He is passionate about teaching students at the intersection of computer science and mathematics, teaching courses in areas such as cryptography, mathematical computing in Python, and the use of large language models in mathematical and programming work. He is interested in all aspects of the use of computers in groundbreaking mathematical work.
Dr. Bartosz Naskręcki is also an active popularizer of knowledge, especially regarding the contribution of Polish cryptologists to breaking the Enigma machine code. He received the Polish Mathematical Society's award for young mathematicians for 2013, and in 2010 he was honored in the Józef Marcinkiewicz Competition for the best student work in mathematics. Outside of science, he is a husband and father of two children. In his free time, he is an avid gardener, a fanatic lawn lover, and an avocado grower.
