Linking National Robotics Ecosystems to International Trade: Lessons Learned from Cluster Builders
This panel brings together leading industry leaders, policymakers and researchers from Canada, Germany and Denmark to explore strategies for linking national robotics ecosystems to international trade, including the role of cluster-to-cluster partnerships.
Join us at 09:30 for announcement of new partnerships. The panel discussion will begin at 10:00.
Panelists:
- Rainer Bischoff, General Manager Germany, Intrinsic; Vice President Industry, EU Robotics aisbl
- Hallie Siegel Co-Chair and Co-Founder, Canadian Robotics Council
- Søren Elmer Kristensen, CEO Odense Robotics
- Jayson Myers, CEO, NGen
- Angela Schoellig, Principle Investigator and Lead, Robotics Institute Germany; Alexander Von Humboldt Professor in Robotics and AI, TU Munich
- Moderated by Ryan Gariepy, CTO Clearpath Robotics & OTTO by Rockwell; Board Chair, Canadian Robotics Council; Board Member, Open Robotics
Robotics innovation is transforming global industries, driving productivity and reshaping international trade. However, the success of robotics ecosystems often hinges on their ability to transition from localized innovation hubs to globally competitive clusters. Drawing on case studies and real-world examples, panelists will discuss the critical role of cluster-building initiatives in fostering innovation, workforce development and market access. Topics will include public-private partnerships, technology transfer mechanisms, the importance of aligning national robotics strategies with global supply chains and trade policies, and challenges such as regulatory barriers, access to financing, and the need for cross-border collaboration.
