BIBA is participating in Girls'Day again this year. Female students are invited to gain exciting insights into the world of technology and research. This allows them to become interested in studying science or technology. Low-threshold hands-on tasks allow participants to experience technology up close. They can also get creative themselves. 

The Mycelium Workshop focuses on mycelium composites. Students learn what this sustainable material is and how versatile it can be - for example, by building their own candle holders. In addition, our hackspace in the BIBA Shopfloor Lab opens its doors. From product design for 3D printing to the precise manufacture of small parts with a laser cutter to personalized giveaways: here, students can develop their own ideas and implement them immediately.

Every year, BIBA participates in the nationwide Supply Chain Day with the Mittelstand Digital Zentrum Bremen Oldenburg and offers an event with changing topics. In 2026, the focus will be on cybersecurity in logistics.

True to the motto “AI in logistics? But of course!”, we cordially invite you to discover the potential of digitalization and artificial intelligence in logistics, with a special focus on relevant cybersecurity aspects. You can look forward to compact keynote speeches from science and industry, practical live demonstrations in the BIBA shop floor lab and opportunities to exchange ideas with experts.

As part of the expo, we will demonstrate, among other things, how energy resilience and the protection of critical infrastructures work in practice, how cyberattacks in logistics environments are detected and analyzed, how deepfakes are created, and what methods exist for detecting them. We will also showcase automated driving and the use of AI for process optimization in port operations, networked and assisted forklift solutions for internal use, and an administration shell demonstrator that illustrates the use of digital twins for interoperable data networking.

The virtual impulse seminar provides an overview of technologies for increasing transparency in supply chains. We also give you an in-depth insight into the use of mobile sensor technology and artificial intelligence in the supply chain. You can look forward to an innovative technical solution for a networked, intelligent supply chain that integrates mobile sensors, gateways, 3D image processing, cloud platforms and digital services. As a result, quality-relevant environmental influences on the products as well as condition-relevant data from transports, such as geolocation, are continuously recorded and digitized with mobile and stationary sensors. Based on this data, digital services are provided for the companies involved, which help to identify transport problems at an early stage and provide further assistance in ensuring product and process quality.

LogisticsConnect will open its doors again at the Congress Centrum Bremen (CCB) from March 5 to 6, 2026. LogisticsConnect is the only trade fair in Germany with a congress character that is specifically tailored to professionals in the fields of project logistics, break bulk, RORO, and heavy lift. It combines lectures, panel discussions, and practical workshops. The aim is to create a platform for networking, knowledge transfer, and industry innovation – in line with the National Port Strategy.

Together with the LogDynamics research cluster, BIBA will be represented at the trade exhibition and will present the topic “AI in logistics and ports.” We cordially invite you to visit us at the joint stand “Bremen/Bremerhaven” No. CCB-B02. Look forward to learning about innovative logistics projects and being inspired by examples of AI in ports.

The 10th edition of the International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2026) will be held at the University of Bremen from February 25 to 27, 2026 and will be accompanied by project workshops and further interesting satellite events. The dynamics of logistics processes and networks are at the center of the conference series established by the research cluster LogDynamics.

There will be presentations of empirical, theoretical, methodological, and practice-oriented contributions dealing with the modeling, planning, optimization, and control of processes in supply chains, logistics networks, production systems, and material flow systems and facilities. LDIC 2026 offers a forum for discussion on advances in this field. The conference is aimed at scientists from the fields of logistics, operations research, engineering, and computer science. It aims to bring together research and practice on the topic of “dynamics in logistics.”

Optimizing production processes—whether through automation, AI, or energy efficiency—is currently a focus for many manufacturing companies. What are the latest trends in innovative production? And how can your company benefit from them? We will answer these and other questions in our LabTour “Innovative production – automated, smart, and energy-efficient” on February 17, 2026, at the BIK – Institute for Integrated Product Development at the University of Bremen.

Join us and experience live how AI increases energy efficiency in robotics and production processes – from interactive dashboards to demonstrators for automated rotor blade manufacturing. Take away concrete ideas and pilot concepts, make valuable contacts while networking over finger food, and gain insights into innovative manufacturing processes and AI-supported optimizations.

The LabTour is organized in cooperation with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg, the BIK – Institute for Integrated Product Development at the University of Bremen, the BIBA – Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics, and the Umwelt Unternehmen office.

The energy transition is not only taking place on rooftops, but also in minds, in production, in data centers, and in corporate strategies. It requires us to no longer just consume energy, but to understand it—as a resource, as an economic factor, and as part of an interconnected system. In close cooperation between science, business, and industry, we take a look at how research, technology, and entrepreneurial practice interact. We talk about the bridge between theory and implementation, about new roles in the energy system, and about the courage to rethink our own energy supply.

The event “Innovative Energy Concepts – Energy Flexibility and Grid Serviceability” on November 20, 2025, at BIBA will focus on ideas relating to energy-flexible production, digital infrastructure as an energy partner, and holistic energy strategies for companies. Be our guest and learn in practical presentations how research and industry are working together to develop innovative solutions for a flexible, efficient, and crisis-resilient energy supply. Discover novel approaches – from intelligently controlled data centers to strategic energy management in practice. Take advantage of the opportunity to engage in direct exchange with experts from business, science, and industry. The day will be rounded off with a get-together featuring snacks, drinks, and exciting conversations.

We offer this event in cooperation with Der Mittelstand. BVMW and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum-Bremen-Oldenburg.
