Established in Nuremberg back in March 2003, the em-bedded world Conference is celebrating the 20th anniver-sary in 2022. The original concept of a unique combina-tion of an exhibition for engineers and technical manage-ment on one hand and a world-leading conference at the intersection of applied research and industrial applica-tions on the other hand has proven extremely successful. embedded world Exhibition & Conference is driven by technology as well as applications with a strong focus on system and cross domain aspects

We see three ongoing trends that are defining the slogan of this year’s anniversary edition:

• intelligent: One of the predecessor events of the em-bedded world was dedicated to “Embedded Intelligence”. What was more of a dream at the time, has become real-ity – a cutting edge past and a long promising road ahead! And of course, embedded systems also play a major role in the AI technology ecosystem. Along with the increasing autonomy of devices, the consideration of ethical and so-cial aspects will be an important challenge.
• connected: Embedded systems are becoming more and more connected. On the one hand, connectivity is bare necessity for the Internet of Things. On the other hand, it is especially this connectivity, which drives the technologi-cal advances.
• embedded: Finally, we see a steadily growing use of em-bedded systems. Embedded vision and embedded radar are just two prominent examples. At the same time, sys-tem complexity increases and additional aspects must be considered, ranging from embedded software architec-tures to hardware-software-co-design, safety and security aspects, RTOS integration and virtualization, value, pro-duction and supply chains, and many more.
