WHAT IS ERF?
The European Robotics Forum (ERF) is the leading event for the European robotics and AI community, bringing together over 1,000 participants from industry, academia, and the public sector. Held annually in a different European city, ERF is the go-to platform to explore cutting-edge technologies, foster collaboration, and address the latest challenges and trends shaping the future of robotics in Europe.
WHY BIRMINGHAM?
Birmingham is one of Europe’s youngest, most diverse and forward-thinking cities. Located in the centre of the UK, it is a hub of advanced manufacturing, engineering innovation and digital technology. The West Midlands region is home to a fast-growing robotics and automation sector, supported by world-leading academic research and a dynamic network of SMEs and global companies.
“That was the best ERF ever!”
We hear this every year after yet another successful and hugely enjoyable European Robotics Forum. We hear it from our regular visitors who come back year after year. That’s important to us, because it shows that ERF becomes more attractive every year as people take part in ERF in ever greater numbers. We hear it from our exhibitors, and that’s important to us, too, because our exhibitors bring so much energy, vitality and variety to every ERF. Very importantly we hear it from our sponsors, and that’s hugely important to us, because we want our sponsors to get the best value from their participation, and because their support enables us to keep building ERF bigger and better, year after year.
