We’ve just returned from an incredible few days at embedded world Exhibition&Conference 2026 in Nuremberg, and one thing is clear: the industry is changing — fast. This year’s event was the biggest yet: 👉 36,000+ visitors 👉 1,262 exhibitors 👉 90 countries represented Our colleagues Andrei Andreyanau, Andrei Klishevich, and Eugene Lavnikevich spent time on the ground speaking with partners, vendors, and engineers — exchanging insights on CRA, AI, and the future of embedded systems. Here’s what felt completely different this year: 🔐 CRA is no longer just a discussion topic Everyone is aligned around it. Conversations quickly go into details: SBOMs, vulnerability management, secure development pipelines. The question is no longer if, but how fast companies can implement it. 🤖 AI is moving from concepts to real applications Instead of experimental demos, companies showed how AI is already embedded into products — from knowledge-based models to edge intelligence and targeted functionality improvements. It was great to see the latest developments from companies like AMD, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, Infineon Technologies, Qualcomm, and many others shaping the future of embedded tech. This event confirmed something important for us. We’re not preparing for future trends anymore — we’re already working inside them. Today, our clients are actively: ✔ preparing for CRA compliance ✔ building secure, connected devices ✔ integrating AI into real products And we’re proud to support them every step of the way. Discover the most interesting innovations and key highlights from the event in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eKE-ErvH #cra #ai #embedded #innovations #tech

Your ecommerce platform can either unlock growth or quietly cap it. That's the part many teams realize too late. 👀 Shopify and commercetools both look strong on paper, but they solve very different business problems. One helps you move fast with less operational friction. The other gives you the architectural freedom to scale, adapt, and build around complexity. If platform choice is on your roadmap for 2026, this breakdown is worth a few minutes of your attention. It cuts through the noise and gets to what actually matters: scalability, flexibility, TCO, enterprise fit, and long-term strategy.
