The Commercial Vehicle Technology Symposium is a two-day conference held on the campus of the Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU). The conference includes approximately 50 technical papers and poster presentations focusing on international trends and technological developments in the commercial vehicle industry. The symposium will be accompanied by a trade exhibition with companies and a special vehicle exhibition.

Seven Fraunhofer Institutes will be presenting innovative technologies for diagnostics, biotechnology, and process control at analytica 2026 in Hall A3, Booth 312. A particular highlight: researchers are taking the production of 3D tissue to a new level with an AI-supported sensor platform, opening up new perspectives for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.

Symposium with focus: Mechanical recycling - Networking - Experts - Your questions

The next Fraunhofer CCPE compact on the topic of “Ready for PPWR? Packaging design for the whole value chain” will take place on April 15, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Under the motto “Innovations for our Future,” the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will present its latest solutions at HANNOVER MESSE 2026. From April 20 to 24, 2026, nine Fraunhofer institutes and groups, together with the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD), will be showcasing technologies for a resilient, sustainable and digitally networked industry.

Five Fraunhofer Institutes will be presenting innovative solutions for early detection and diagnosis, health data spaces, and aftercare and long-term care at DMEA 2026. With their practical research, they are shaping the digital healthcare of tomorrow. Visit us in Hall 2.2, Booth D-109.

How can wastewater be turned into recyclable materials, electronic waste into key raw materials, and wind turbine blades into new products? At IFAT 2026, the Fraunhofer Water Systems Alliance will be demonstrating what a circular water and raw materials economy looks like in practice in Hall B2/115. Eight Fraunhofer Institutes will present solutions covering the entire water cycle – from water analysis to wastewater treatment and reuse.
