Future Labs Live 2025

Future Labs Live, is Europe’s most diverse, stimulating, and exciting event for the future of all labs.

The 2025 event is set to bring together visionaries, thought leaders, and professionals from various lab industries to explore, collaborate and discuss the biggest challenges and achievements in creating tomorrow’s lab of the future.

The conference agenda features nine themes explored in a diverse array of sessions.
Future Labs Live offers unparalleled opportunities for networking, learning, and collaboration. Attendees will have the chance connect with industry experts and discover cutting-edge technologies that showcase the future of innovation.

On 28 May at 13:45 and 14:45 don't miss the presentations of our colleagues representing EU-MACE and the COST Programme!

The event’s exhibition floor is home to the world leading suppliers of the latest technology, software, and hardware and houses the start-up zone where smaller companies showcase innovations.
The stand nr. 23 will be hosted by the COST Action EU-MACE to promote their members’ materials acceleration platforms (MAPs) and their network to the wide range of innovators among the audience.

Materials have played a key role in rupture technologies throughout industrial history. Amid today’s climate, geopolitical, and humanitarian crises, global entities recognize the need for a strong materials innovation ecosystem to drive the clean energy transition. Self-driving laboratories (MAPs) integrate combinatorial synthesis, high-throughput characterization, automated analysis, and machine learning to accelerate materials discovery. However, challenges remain, including integration into components, geographical concentration, and the need for new researcher skills. EU-MACE will create an inclusive ecosystem, combining digital and material expertise with market needs, laying the foundation for a center of excellence in advanced materials for a stronger EU.
