IAMHH e.V. Networking Event October 8–9, 2025
Status: Past Event
On October 8–9, 2025, the Industrialized Additive Manufacturing Hub Hamburg (IAMHH) e.V. hosted its autumn networking event at DESY in Hamburg. The two-day program brought together experts from industry and research for a hands-on and highly interactive exchange on additive manufacturing strategies, applications, and collaboration opportunities.
Day 1 focused on networking and collaboration within the AM community. After opening remarks and an IAMHH update, participants dove straight into the “AM Speed Circles”, fast-paced conversations designed to uncover shared challenges, bottlenecks, and areas for cooperation.
The day continued with “Showtime IAMHH e.V.”, where members jointly developed ideas for the upcoming IAMHH trade show presence. During the “Member Marketplace”, organizations showcased their capabilities, technologies, and services, sparking new partnership discussions.
In the afternoon, “Network IAMHH e.V. and Beyond” expanded the scope to Hamburg’s broader innovation ecosystem. Representatives from regional clusters and networks joined to explore cross-sector collaboration and build bridges between AM, science, and industry.
The second day centered on science and research. As one of IAMHH’s active members, DESY offered participants a behind-the-scenes look at its world-class facilities during “Science Up Close”, including a guided tour and a poster exhibition highlighting ongoing additive manufacturing research with DESY and partner institutions.
The event successfully fostered new collaborations and generated multiple project ideas. Once again, IAMHH proved to be a thriving platform for connecting Hamburg’s industrial, scientific, and startup communities within the field of additive manufacturing.
