This year's Hannover Messe will once again include the topic of embedded systems & solutions into the field of interest of the exhibition. Since embedded systems are also the DNA of OSADL, OSADL decided to be part of this year's Hannover Messe from March 31 to April 4, 2025 and become exhibitor at the Embedded Systems & Solutions special event. The so-called "Embedded Park" at Hannover Messe is located in hall 009 and OSADL can be found at booth F76.

The Hannover Messe is another opportunity to meet OSADL and better understand how OSADL can help companies that use Open Source software in products and how Open Source software can successfully be used in industry – for example in a license-compliant way, with adequate software performance such as real-time, withstanding security attacks and under mission-critical conditions, etc.

In addition, we would like to invite you to attend the free OSADL talks on Open Source at the Speakers Corner of Embedded Park:

• Tuesday, April 1, 2025, 14:20 - 14:40: Open Source meets Industry: A receipe for success?! Jan Altenberg, OSADL
• Wednesday, April 2, 2025, 13:55 - 14:15: A FOSS and CRA compliance policy: Exploiting the overlap, Caren Kresse, OSADL

Interested? Then we would be delighted to welcome you at OSADL's booth F76 in hall 009 at this year's Hannover Messe.

The OSADL Networking Day 2025 will take place in Heidelberg/Germany on June 26, 2025. Please save the date! More information will be available here soon.
