Why Exhibit In Austin, Texas
A New Expo for Applied Intelligence
Our Expo is built for the technologies that move beyond screens and into the physical world. From industrial robotics and automation systems to embedded engineering, smart manufacturing, autonomous platforms, and applied AI, the expo is designed to connect the people building the future with the people ready to deploy it.
Austin sits at an unusual convergence. The city is home to one of the world’s most heavily funded humanoid robotics companies, founded in a University of Texas laboratory. Major humanoid manufacturing and advanced semiconductor fabrication are both underway in the surrounding metro area. The University of Texas at Austin’s robotics program ranks among the top twenty worldwide.
Robotics research, capital, silicon, and manufacturing rarely occupy the same forty miles. In Central Texas, they do.
This expo is built where the work is.
