This year, October not only showed its brilliant side in terms of weather, it was also packed with regional and international live events.
On 7 October, we started with the SAM Symposium Automotive & Mobility in Zwickau. Together with colleagues from the CADA - Chemnitz Automated Driving Alliance, we presented ourselves with our sensor vehicle in the interactive exhibition on the Kornmarkt in Zwickau. Students and graduates of the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau (Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau) and, of course, many other interested visitors were able to learn about job opportunities in the region and build networks in informal conversations.
On Saturday, 9 October, our sensor vehicle moved on to the Kepler Alumni Treffen, the alumni meeting at the Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium in Chemnitz. Here, visitors young and old, scientists, and engineers were able to learn about the CADA network and our ideas and developments on the future of mobility and automated driving.
In the week of 11-15 October, the CADA network was represented twice at the ITS World Congress 2021, the international congress for intelligent mobility, in Hamburg: as part of ITS Mobility at the stand of SAENA - Sächsische Energieagentur (Saxon Energy Agency) and at the stand of Germany Trade & Invest. In addition to the presentation of our vision - shaping mobility sustainably and making it accessible to everyone - representatives of SAENA, CADA, LaSuV, and other stakeholders spoke on the Germany stage of the joint stand of the German federal states about the Saxon activities of the network Effiziente Mobilität Sachsen (Efficient Mobility Saxony) and about intelligent transport systems (ITS; German: IVS).
Last but not least, on 20 October, we visited - as is tradition - the Kooperationsbörse der Zulieferindustrie Erzgebirge, the cooperation exchange of the supplier industry in the Erzgebirge region, which took place in Zschopau this year. The aim here was to refresh existing contacts, make new contacts in the region, exchange views on current conditions and solutions, and thus make intensive use of our region’s economic potential. In terms of topics, we presented above all our smart solutions for production & logistics, digitalisation & Industry 4.0, and our expertise in image processing, automation & robotics, automated guided vehicles, as well as human-machine cooperation and machine learning.
