With Apply & Innovate, we organize a two-day international technology conference every two years. In 2022, the Konzerthaus in Karlsruhe hosted Apply & Innovate. At the event, our customers and partners took the stage with fascinating presentations from different fields and provided insights into joint projects as well as their experiences and successes with our solutions. The accompanying trade exhibition as well as the evening event on the first conference day provided additional time and space for networking.
Our video platform provides insights into presentations from Apply & Innovate 2022 – get inspired and be part of the event (again) next time!
