Competitiveness is largely determined by the world of work. The eighth network conference of the “World of Work 4.0” thematic platform focuses on this challenge and brings you up to speed on the latest developments. Exciting real-world examples and exhibits allow you to experience the innovative world of work firsthand on site.
Innovative work environments are a key driver of competitiveness for companies and economies. They enable higher productivity and boost innovation. The interplay of the three dimensions—technology, organization, and people—is crucial in this regard.
The eighth network conference of the “Working World 4.0” thematic platform, taking place on October 29, 2026, in Munich’s Werksviertel, will bring you up to speed on the latest developments and provide you with a wide range of ideas and new perspectives on shaping a competitive working world. We cordially invite you to be part of this exciting conference.

AI Playground
Three smart apps. One interactive experience.
How do AI applications actually work in practice? With this interactive experience format from the “Working World 4.0” platform, you can try out artificial intelligence for yourself—beyond traditional chatbots. Three real-world applications demonstrate how generative AI processes information, creates content, and analyzes documents. Experience it directly online in your browser or live at our interactive kiosk during events.
Adaptive Human-Robot Interaction with Neuromorphic AI
This demonstrator shows how modern AI systems can enable natural and intuitive collaboration between humans and robots. Using event-driven cameras and neuromorphic AI, human gestures are recognized in real time and directly translated into robot actions. Through adaptive learning methods, the system can learn new, individual gestures during operation with just a few examples and flexibly adapt to different users. The demonstrator offers a glimpse into the next generation of intelligent assistance and robot systems for industrial applications.

Worker Assistance for Innovative Work Environments
The focus of our contribution to NextWork Bavaria is our worker assistance system based on projected augmented reality—without the need for glasses or a headset. It supports employees directly at the workplace during manual assembly and work processes, guides them step by step through the respective tasks, verifies correct execution, and documents the results.
This standardizes processes, improves quality and process reliability, and makes valuable experiential knowledge digitally accessible. At the same time, the solution helps companies train new employees and manage varying skill and language levels.
MKey Solution GmbH develops and implements innovative solutions for industrial production. As an experienced machine vision integrator, we combine industrial image processing with digitization, automation, and intelligent assistance systems.
