New platform for industrial humanoid robotics connects technology providers, industry, and decision-makers
Würzburg, June 2026 – The Vogel Communications Group (VCG) is further expanding its involvement in the cutting-edge field of humanoid robotics and will serve as the exclusive media partner forthe “Advanced Humanoid Forum 2027.” Together with the event organizer, ULMO Consulting, the group is creating one of the first high-reach B2B platforms in the German-speaking world that consistently addresses humanoid robotics from an industrial perspective.
The partnership combines specialized media expertise, industrial reach, and community building in a field that is currently transitioning from research and pilot projects to concrete industrial applications.
“Humanoid robotics will transform numerous industrial processes in the coming years—from manufacturing and logistics to service and maintenance. Our goal is to provide an early-stage analysis of this emerging field from journalistic, technological, and market perspectives, and to connect the relevant stakeholders,” says Matthias Bauer, Chief Executive Officer of VCG.
Multichannel Strategy for a New Industrial Ecosystem
VCG is working with the Summit organizer to develop a comprehensive multichannel communication strategy. At its core is a dedicated content and partner platform, supported by high-reach initiatives across VCG’s media brands. The content is aimed at decision-makers in the fields of industry, automation, mechanical engineering, electronics, automotive, and production technology.
First-Mover Initiative in the Emerging Market of Humanoid Robotics
Through this media partnership, VCG is positioning itself early on in a technology sector that is currently gaining significant momentum internationally. While humanoid robotics has often been discussed from the perspective of research or consumer tech, this collaboration is the first to specifically focus on industrial applications and commercial scaling potential.
“The industry is seeking new solutions to the shortage of skilled workers, flexible automation, and resilient production systems. Humanoid robotics could play a key role in this. It is precisely this discussion that we aim to actively shape through the summit and our coverage,” adds Tim Bartl, Chief Communications Officer at VCG.
The "Advanced Humanoid Forum 2027"brings together technology providers, industrial companies, investors, and innovation leaders, and aims to establish itself as a central European platform for industrial humanoid robotics.
Visibility for Innovation Leaders
In addition to providing editorial support, VCG is participating as a strategic networking and outreach partner. Plans include in-person events, panel discussions, social video content, and the involvement of industry influencers and expert communities. The goal of the collaboration is to highlight industrial applications of humanoid robotics, assess market potential, and accelerate knowledge transfer between technology providers and industrial companies. Further information about the summit will follow in the coming months.
