"80% of business leaders expect to use physical AI at scale in their operations within two years."
Deloitte, 2026
78% of German decision makers view AI in robotics and automation as essential to competitiveness [IFR, 2026]. The top performers are seeing tangible gains in supply chain optimisation, advanced quality inspection and predictive maintenance.
But whilst 61% of industrial organisations are running AI in live operations, only 20% are seeing value at scale [Cisco, 2026]. You therefore have some tricky questions to address: which use cases will deliver at scale, what operating model and governance do you need, and where should humans stay in the loop?
As Germany leads the way in physical AI adoption, join 7 other senior leaders for a practical discussion to explore the steps you can be taking to scale physical AI successfully and responsibly.
