November 11, 2025: Open Lab Day Industrial Metaverse ARENA2036

On November 11, 2025 ARENA2036 opened its doors to all those interested in the industrial metaverse. In the real laboratory, in projects and through member companies, work, research and cooperation on the topic of industrial metaverse is taking place in many places at ARENA2036. During exclusive guided tours to themed islands on the store floor visitors were given exciting insights into projects, research focuses and industrial applications relating to the industrial metaverse, were able to "look over the shoulders" of member companies and talk to experts from various companies and sectors.

Companies like Mercedes, ISG, Waveye, FARO, Siemens, Nokia, SPIE and other ARENA2036 members provided insights into Industrial Metaverse applications and issues, demonstrated concrete use caseshow solutions are already being implemented today and gave an outlook on areas of development - practical, innovative and with a view to the future.

The guided tours not only provided suggestions on how to take the first steps in the industrial metaverse yourself with little effort, but also gave an insight into big wins that can be achieved in the long term and made these tangible using various examples experience at first hand.
