Dear hardwarians and softwarians,

In today’s technological era, hardware and software co-design has become an irreversible path in product creation. Take your phone for example, and the challenge faced by product designers in updating hardware and software to continuously satisfy our demands for the latest surprise. How do we decide which of the two is more important? How do we ensure neither takes centre stage, but both marry together to complement one other?
We’re gathering together to discuss what it takes to build successful hardware and software products. What are the challenges faced by mechanical and software engineers; how do we combine best practices from both to marry them into one successful entity? We invite everyone interested in software, hardware, product design and co-design to share their experiences and thoughts with us, and hear from the leading women in Berlin’s hardware, software and hybrid start-ups.
