On 26 February 2026, we cordially invite you to the fifth HUMAINE Spring Fair, where we will jointly present the findings of our HUMAINE research project and bring the future of human-centred AI applications in business, industry and society to life.
Where innovation comes to life: Practical insights into the workplace of tomorrow
From 2 pm, the O-Werk at Mark 51°7 will open its doors, offering you an exclusive insight into the latest technological developments and practical examples of how AI is transforming the industrial and healthcare sectors.
From 2.30 pm, leading experts from academia and the professional world will be sharing their insights on topics that are currently shaping ethical and strategic debates, including:
- Generative AI in industrial applications
- Patient or healthcare professional: who is at the heart of AI’s human-centred approach?
- AI governance in practice
- AI in HR and leadership
- A human-centred approach to AI development
Opening of the exhibition route ‘PEOPLE. WORK. AI.’
We are particularly delighted to invite you to the official opening of the new exhibition route at 5.30 pm, which has been developed in collaboration with the Route Industriekultur and several regional exhibition partners.
The opening of the main exhibition at the RUB Makerspace uses interactive stations to demonstrate how human-centred AI is transforming the world of work – in a concrete, practical and tangible way. You will be among the first to enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition.
Celebrating a milestone together
