Realize LIVE 2026: Where Advanced Manufacturing Takes Shape with AI, Industrial Metaverse and more

The future of manufacturing is here and Realize LIVE 2026 is where that future comes into focus. This flagship digital transformation conference from Siemens is returning to North America and Europe with two high-impact events that bring together the people, technologies, and ideas shaping next-generation manufacturing.

This year, the spotlight is firmly on four powerful themes redefining industrial innovation: AI-powered manufacturing planning and simulation, cloud-enabled collaboration from planning through production, digital threads that connect the entire manufacturing lifecycle, and the accelerating movement to reshore manufacturing.

Together, these topics underscore how the convergence of AI, cloud, digital twins, and simulation is moving from promise to practice. Join your peers learn how to turn innovation into real-world impact, and accelerate the path from breakthrough to industrial scale.

Discover advanced applications of Process Simulate and Plant Simulation from real users

To highlight a few, Realize LIVE 2026 will feature in-depth technical sessions on:

• AI-lead digital thread convergence for planning and simulation: learn how companies are accelerating their production with Siemens AI-powered technology
• Explore the value of high-fidelity industrial metaverse environments: See how other companies are building high-fidelity industrial metaverse environments, simulating any product, plant, or factory in real time and layered with industrial AI and improving collaboration.
• Accelerating AI adoption to future-proof your digital manufacturing operations: Explore real use-cases from users adopting Siemens AI technology to optimize processes for robotics, human-centered manufacturing, automation, production planning and more.
