Netzwerk Summit - InnoPartner x Netzwerk Smart Industries
InnoPartner Kraichgau and Netzwerk Smart Industries hold the Netzwerk Summit at the innoWerft in Walldorf on Wednesday 30 September 2026, from 16:00 to 19:00. The afternoon looks at how artificial intelligence is changing industrial value creation, with a focus on small and mid-sized companies. Instead of classic talks, three interactive topic hubs let participants discuss concrete challenges with experts: AI agents and how they reshape custom software, SaaS models, licence costs and integration; vibe coding, meaning fast software prototyping through natural language, with its opportunities and risks for SMEs; and data sovereignty, covering who owns the data entered into or produced by AI systems and how to protect trade secrets, customer data and intellectual property. At a start-up marketplace, young technology companies present products and applications for mid-sized firms. The programme also leaves room for networking between entrepreneurs, technology providers, research institutions and start-ups. InnoPartner is run by WFG Bruchsal, innoWerft and the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis economic development office. Attendance is free, and early registration is recommended because places are limited.
