 The Star at CeBIT:
The Robochop Installation
BOERSENBLATT.NET

The interactive robot installed by the designers

Clemens Weisshaar and Reed Kram was no vision
of the future. It was a fully functional interpreta-
tion of Industry 4.0. Instead of talking about the
Internet of Things, the installation in the CODE_n
hall demonstrated how far we have already come
in merging the world of physical objects and the
digital world. Internet users from around the world
could access the machines and use a web-based
3D app to design their own mini-furniture. Four ro-
bots produced over 2,000 individual cubes over
the course of CeBIT. These were then dispatched
to the artists in 81 countries throughout the world,
with everything from side tables to abstract works
of art.

gadgets prove it
WIRTSCHAFTSWOCHE, GERMAN MAGAZINE
One competition. Fifty winners. Thousands of
visitors. The prizewinners werent the only ones
at CODE_n to feel like winners. All finalists had
the opportunity to push their new business ideas
during the five days at CeBIT generating many
hot leads and exceptional media coverage. The
75,000 visitors who came to the CODE_n hall
included numerous investors as well as key deci-
sion-makers from the world of business and poli-
tics. All took time to stroll through Hall 16 getting
to know the enthusiastic CODE_n pioneers per-
sonally and discovering more about their ground-
breaking business models.
Germany needs entrepreneurs to maintain its
leading position in business. Startups are driv-
ing forces on our path towards Industry 4.0 and
the Internet of Things. That is why we need a
new Grnderzeit (founding era) particularly
also more private initiatives to promote startups.
CODE_n is setting an example with its various ac-
tivities to support startup companies and to moti-
vate them in the long term.
Sigmar Gabriel
Minister for Economic Affairs
CODE_n shows that there is still major potential
to tap for business startups in Germany. We need
to improve the conditions for startups in Germany
to make them more competitive on an internation-
al level, especially when it comes to the financing
conditions. Networking events are equally import-
ant to connect startups with the established manu-
facturers and industry in Germany. In this respect,
CODE_n is already making an important contribu-
tion and leads other companies the way.

avenues for CeBIT
FAZ.NET

The comprehensive conference program in Hall 16

also pulled in the crowds. For five days, CODE_n
was a rich source of information on the Internet
of Things, startups, and innovation in the digital
economy. There was also a series of fireside chats
during the week for the CODE_n finalists to intro-
duce their business models. On the stage and at
diverse workbenches at partner booths, the young
entrepreneurs were joined by leading experts to
discuss a whole host of opportunities and chal-
lenges. The audience was also invited to pose their
own questions. After the official end of the trade
show day, there were parties and live entertain-
ment. Plus two unforgettable highlights: the amaz-
ing CODE_n Award Show and the Pioneers Dinner.

Turning the vision of a global innovation platform

into a reality requires partners who can help bring
the concept to life. More companies and organiza-
tions became involved in CODE_n in 2015 than at
any point in the past. Whether they were exhibi-
tors, conference partners or co-sponsors, they all
wrote their own unique CODE_n story and used
CODE_n as a source of inspiration for their own
organizations, their customers, and their business
partners.

thought!
Deutsche Messe
Im sure that CODE_n is the heart of innovation
and the place to be at CeBIT. For our worldwide
visitors its the start point here at CeBIT we are
very pleased to have this colorful and inspiring
startup arena in Hanover.
Oliver Frese, Member of the Board
EY
With CODE_n we are seeking to identify innova-
tive thinking and disruptive business models and
to convene a dialogue between pioneering en-
trepreneurial talent and larger clients. CODE_n
is a key part of our startup programs and events
around the world.
Paul van Kessel, Global Risk Leader
Salesforce
Robochop is a powerful showcase to demonstrate
the potential of digitalization. Salesforce powers
the end-to-end solution, a true Industry 4.0 sce-
nario, that brings Robochop to life and keeps it
running. The app to design the objects has been
built in no-time on our Heroku platform. And the
robots can connect via sensors to the Salesforce
Service Cloud. But theres more that connects us
with CODE_n: We share the same love for inno-
vation. With our engagement at CODE_n we can
help startups innovate fast and scale easily and we
help established enterprises reinvent and digitally
transform at incredible speed.
Frank Engelhardt, Manager Enterprise Strategy
Salesforce
Google
"Google is a well-established partner for both start-
ups and the traditional industries in Germany. We
work with the best in class CODE_n is the right
platform for us to engage in candid conversations
with both young and established companies."
Jens Redmer, Principal, New Products
EnBW
My impression: This is a very beneficial approach.
Building and supporting a startup scene in Baden-
Wuerttemberg is an important issue, which we
fully support. CODE_n offers founders a unique
platform to present and promote their business
models as well as their products. Startups and
corporations are able to meet face to face and ex-
change ideas and network on-site and directly. For
EnBW, its an excellent opportunity to utilize collab-
orations in a rapidly changing, new energy world.
Uli Huener, Head of Innovation Management
KUKA
Industry 4.0, thats exactly our daily business. Ac-
cording to the CODE_n15 topic we became a part-
ner, also of ROBOCHOP. With our industrial robots
we were already able to show today, how tomor-
rows production will look like. Amazing to get in
touch with the astonished 75.000 visitors in hall 16.
Dr Andreas Bauer, Director Marketing
TRUMPF
CODE_n is a startup hotspot for discussions, new
ideas and people who deal with industry 4.0 as
well as the digital transformation of the business
world.
Dr Peter Leibinger, Vice-Chairman of the
Managing Board
Accenture
Why are we a CODE_n Partner? Its simple: The
hall is unlike anything else at CeBIT and its a
showground for startups. Fifty interesting finalists
not only present their business ideas with plenty
of enthusiasm and creativity, but they also get to
meet established companies with a long-standing
tradition companies which are currently under-
going a transformation themselves. At the heart of
it: Accenture! Its truly exciting and a win-win situa-
tion for everyone involved.
