How can technologies developed for the defence sector drive innovation across the broader economy? What role will autonomous systems, space technologies, and advanced materials play in strengthening Poland’s security and competitiveness?

During Warsaw Industry Week Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz will invite participants to explore the world of cutting-edge dual-use technologies, showcasing solutions developed at the intersection of science, industry, and security.The programme will feature inspiring presentations and expert discussions focused on key technological trends shaping the future:

• Opening panel: “Dual-Use Technologies as a Driver of Innovation in the Polish Economy”, featuring representatives of public administration, industry, and the defence sector.
• Space and satellite technologies – the latest solutions supporting security, communications, and economic growth
• .Autonomy and unmanned systems for military and civilian applications, with a particular focus on logistics, medical evacuation, and critical infrastructure protection.
• Advanced materials engineering – innovations in composites, technical ceramics, and specialty steels.

Weld with Us – Live!

Join us and watch professionals build a complete industrial piping installation. From the very first component to a fully finished pipeline – all in just three days.

For three days, visitors to Warsaw Industry Week will have the opportunity to watch the live construction of a complete industrial piping installation – from the preparation of individual components to the finished pipeline. The central demonstration area will showcase professional pipe fitting and welding techniques used in modern industry.

In addition, the stand will feature two interactive welding stations where visitors can weld alongside experienced TIG MASTERS specialists. The demonstrations will be tailored to participants' skill levels, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced welders interested in advanced techniques used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.This is a unique opportunity to gain practical knowledge, discover modern welding technologies, and see industry experts at work in real-world conditions.

Live Demonstrations

Visitors will learn and experience: 

•  AC/DC welding machine operation and parameter settings; 
•  Gas purging techniques and calculation of argon filling time for piping systems; 
•  How to read and create isometric drawings; 
•  Industrial pipe fitting and assembly techniques; 
•  Fillet welding; 
•  Full-penetration butt welding; Welding requirements and quality standards for the food and pharmaceutical industries. 

 Technologies on Display 

•  TIG DC welding – carbon steel and stainless steel; 
•  TIG AC welding – aluminium; 
•  Ultra-high-speed welding cameras with laser illumination, providing live close-up views on large display screens.

Warsaw Industry Week 2026 will feature special B2B Onsite business meetings, organized by the Polish Energy Storage Association (PSME) and the Enterprise Europe Network office at DeLab UW. This is a unique opportunity to quickly meet potential partners, establish new business contacts, and discuss opportunities for collaboration in the areas of energy storage, technology, and industry. The tool will be available to all exhibitors and visitors to Warsaw Industry Week after registering on a dedicated platform.

B2B meeting format:

• Meetings are scheduled in advance

• Each meeting lasts 20 minutes

• Partners are selected based on participants' business profiles

This allows participants to effectively conduct conversations, exchange experiences, and discover new opportunities for joint projects.

Don't miss the opportunity to meet with industry representatives and build new relationships during Warsaw Industry Week 2026!

The platform will be available soon!

The Digital Product Passport is a new element of manufacturing operations; it will serve as a mandatory component for individual products, providing comprehensive, online-accessible information based on data gathered throughout the product's entire lifecycle. EU regulations — followed by national legislation—mandate the use of the Digital Product Passport, starting with batteries from February 18, 2027. Subsequent product groups subject to this requirement will be introduced gradually and include, among others: tires, steel, aluminum, textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, construction materials, and toys. 

The imminent implementation of the Digital Product Passport necessitates urgent preparatory action by enterprises. 

The conference aims to raise awareness of this topic, outline the regulatory framework, showcase implementation best practices from other countries, explain the operational context, and provide guidance on effectively integrating this component into daily business practice. 

The Digital Product Passport represents not only a regulatory obligation but also an opportunity to enhance product value - an aspect that will also be highlighted during the conference.

Industrial Operational Resilience: From Security to Business Continuity.

For years, the primary question in the industrial sector was: how can we produce faster and more efficiently? 

Today, a different question is increasingly coming to the fore: how can we maintain uninterrupted production—despite mounting threats, changes, and unforeseen events?

A modern factory must be more than just fast and efficient; it must be resilient.Polish industry is facing a new wave of transformation. Investments in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and digitalization are coinciding with the introduction of new regulations, such as NIS2 and the Cyber ​​Resilience Act. At the same time, enterprises must contend with cyber threats, the risk of downtime, the growing complexity of production environments, and the pressure to ensure business continuity.

None of these challenges can be solved by a single technology or a single vendor. Industrial operational resilience emerges at the intersection of diverse competencies: automation, robotics, IT and OT systems, cybersecurity, and engineering expertise. System integrators play a pivotal role in this process by combining solutions from various manufacturers into a cohesive, secure, and reliable production environment. They are the ones who translate technological potential into tangible business outcomes: enhanced security, reduced downtime, and greater production flexibility and stability.The Polish Automation and Robotics Forum conference will demonstrate how to build operational resilience in enterprises in practice. The starting point will be the real-world challenges manufacturing plants face daily, while the core of the program will feature case studies presented jointly by technology manufacturers, system integrators, and industrial enterprises. It is precisely the collaboration between these sectors that enables the creation of solutions that not only address today’s challenges but also prepare organizations for future ones.

 Participants will explore practical implementation examples, key regulatory requirements, and solutions designed to enhance the safety, reliability, and continuity of production processes.

The conference will demonstrate that operational resilience is no longer merely an aspect of risk management; it is a fundamental operational imperative.
