Visitors at the Festo booth can step into a simulated Smart Factory environment. Highlights of Festo’s product portfolio will be on display with demos guided by STEM teachers and engineers – from cobots and bionics to electronics and AI-supported systems.

Seeds are the new gold. Why is that? Plant-based foods can feed an ever-growing world population. But climate change, pests and diseases threaten plant breeding. To help develop resistant seeds and make them available to agriculture, plant breeders need vast amounts of DNA. That is precisely why Synchron Lab has developed the "DNA factory", which is automated with handling gantries, electric axes, pneumatic grippers and sensors from Festo.
