NLND Breakfast Club: Pilot to Production with Plug and Play

Tuesday, May 19, 2026
9:30 AM - 11:00 AM CET
NLND Neuland Berlin
Presented by NLND Berlin Plug and Play

​Your pilot succeeded. Now what?

​You've proven the technology works. You've delivered measurable results. The factory floor loves it. But turning that validation into a commercial contract requires a different playbook entirely.

​Implementing Industry 4.0 in manufacturing is not a technology problem, it's a business transformation problem. The difference between startups that stall and those that scale comes down to stakeholder management: understanding procurement cycles, proving ROI in operational terms, and navigating multi-stakeholder decision-making.

​This Breakfast Club brings together manufacturing and industry scale ups who have successfully cracked the code on going from first meeting to signing contracts, alongside corporate innovation leader who co-created Startup Autobahn in Stuttgart, Dr. Phillip Gneiting (Plug and Play Tech Center).

​What to Expect:

​A tactical session on breaking through pilot purgatory

​Real stories from founders who've turned validation into revenue

​A room full of Industry 4.0, robotics, deeptech, and manufacturing tech founders to learn from navigating the pilot-to-production journey
