Manufacturing is at an inflection point. Across every major industrial economy, the pressure to do more with less — due to faster design cycles, leaner operations and strain on skilled labor pools — is accelerating the shift to AI-driven production. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how fast and at what scale. At Hannover Messe 2026 , running April 20-24 in Hannover, Germany, NVIDIA and its partners are demonstrating AI-driven manufacturing in action. Attendees will experience how advancements in accelerated computing, AI physics, agents and robotics are powering industrial innovation — from agentic design and engineering to real-time simulation, vision AI agents and humanoid robots operating in factories. The factory of the future isn’t just a concept. It’s being built now. AI Infrastructure: Powering Europe’s Next Industrial Era Running AI at scale across the factories and supply chains that manufacturing output relies on requires the right underlying infrastructure.…
