- March 11-13, 2025 Embedded World, Nuremberg, Germany
The embedded world in Nuremberg, Germany is the world-leading trade show for embedded solutions. One major focus this year is AI in embedded chipsets. The OPC Foundation is a long-term exhibitor, showing that OPC UA is scaling into even the smallest embedded solutions into cloud scenarios. AI experts love OPC UA due to its standardization of information models, which reduce engineering effort. Deep technical experts from sponsor companies such as Matrikon, Softing, Systerel, and Unified Automation have shown their offerings at the OPC Foundation booth.

This year, our booth was located in the Cybersecurity Village in Hall 2, highlighting the critical importance of robust security mechanisms in OPC UA technology. Ensuring secure and reliable communication in industrial automation is at the heart of our mission, and we look forward to demonstrating how our solutions can enhance cybersecurity in your operations.
