Representatives from seven corporations that included Bosch-Rexroth, EPLAN, Festo, Murrelektronik, PILZ, Rittal and WAGO. Safety, Security and Connectivity provided the theme of this year’s German Technology Day (GTD) event, organized by seven Canadian companies with German roots including Bosch-Rexroth, EPLAN, Festo, Murrelektronik, PILZ, Rittal, and WAGO.
The third edition of the event took place on October 26, 2021 in Toronto (live and virtual), and on November 2, 2021 in Montreal (virtual), became the most attended edition to this day.
The event built on the concept of the first live edition from 2019 and on the award-winning virtual edition presented in 2020, culminating in a hybrid event in 2021, in keeping with the changing times and current climate. It gave those still concerned about safety the option to enjoy the event from their homes or workplaces, while others who felt comfortable to venture out while observing COVID-19 safety regulations, were welcome to enjoy the camaraderie and networking.

This year, GTD 2021 pushed the envelope a little further by having experts from all seven companies present their industry-leading solutions and technology to live audiences in Toronto and Montreal, as well as online by streaming the live event on the GTD virtual event platform.
The German Technology Day included both live presentations (inset) and a trade show with seven vendors.
The German Technology Day event was an immersive and eye-opening experience for the audience, organizers say, made up of key representatives in the manufacturing and automation industry thanks to the discussions initiated by each presenter, and the keynote addresses by dignitaries from the German Consulates in Toronto and Montreal, as well as the German Chamber of Commerce who highlighted the ever-evolving German and Canadian industrial landscapes.
Organizers look forward to next year, as the GTD team is already said to be hard at work to ensure that the experience is even more rewarding, and more impactful for the industry.
