On February 26, 2026, we cordially invite you to the fifth HUMAINE Spring Fair, where we will jointly present the results of our HUMAINE research project and make the future of human-centered AI applications in business, industry and society tangible.

Where innovation can be experienced: Practical impulses for the working world of tomorrow
The O-Werk at Mark 51°7 opens its doors at 2 p.m. and offers you an exclusive insight into current technological developments and practical application examples from the industrial and healthcare AI transformation.

Starting at 14:30, you can expect input from leading experts from science and practice on topics that are currently shaping the ethical and strategic debates, including

  • Generative AI in industrial applications
  • Patient or health professional: who is at the center of human-centric AI?
  • AI governance as lived practice
  • AI in personnel and management work
  • Human-centeredness in AI development

Opening of the exhibition route “Zukunft. WORK IN THE POT”
We look forward to welcoming you from 17:30 to the official opening of the new exhibition route, which is being organized in cooperation with the Route of Industrial Culture and several regional exhibition partners.

The opening of the main exhibition in the RUB Makerspace uses interactive stations to show how human-centered AI is changing the world of work – in a concrete, practical and tangible way. You will be among the first to receive an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition.

Celebrating a milestone together
With the Spring Fair 2026 XL and the opening of the exhibition, we are celebrating two important highlights of our competence center and thus also leading directly into the continuation via our HUMAINE Network e.V. We look forward to experiencing these special moments together with you.

We look forward to welcoming you to the O-Werk in Bochum on February 26, 2026.
