Embedded World 2026: A Field Report on the Latest in Embedded Electronics For those who couldn't be among the 36,000 attendees in Nuremberg, we've picked our highlights from the show floor. Embedded World, one of the biggest events in the calendar for the embedded electronics industry, has come to a close for another year — having hosted a record 36,000 visitors to nearly 1,300 exhibitors showcasing everything from the latest in Bluetooth technologies to self-driving vehicles and robotics. "This year once again impressively demonstrated the importance of Embedded World in the global embedded community," boasts Benedikt Weyerer, executive director of the annual show, of Embedded World 2026. "The energy in the halls — packed aisles, lots of good discussions and an impressive variety of ideas — really inspired us. This strong feedback motivates us enormously and encourages us to continue on the successful path of the event. For companies in the embedded space, Embedded World is a chance to showcase everything they've been working on over the past year. For visitors, an opportunity to see not only what's new but what's around the corner — with exhibitors showing off technologies that are shipping now alongside those that are still in the pipeline, including fully-autonomous vehicles and humanoid robotics. "An exceptionally broad spectrum of innovative technical presentations characterized this year's Embedded World conference," says event chair Axel Sikora, celebrating a 13 percent growth in visitors compared with last year. "The depth of the technical discussions and the quality of the scientific input show how actively and future-oriented our developer community is working. Rarely has it been so clear how intensively research and practice are working together on new solutions."
