The opportunity is enormous, but the hard questions remain: data quality, physical validation, manufacturability, reliability, and scale. Discovery Day is built around those questions.

Attendee Policy: Discovery Day is for senior leaders in industrial R&D, AI for science and autonomous laboratories. Attendee's are typically Director level and above, alongside selected scientific experts and ecosystem leaders. Therefore all registrations require individual approval. Invitations do not extend automatically to colleagues.
