INNO DAYS 2025: A Strategic Convergence of Security, Licensing, and Innovation in the Quantum Era

July 2–3, 2025 – INNO DAYS 2025, hosted by Wibu-Systems, returns as a two-day hybrid event set to explore the strategic intersection of cybersecurity, licensing, and the future of IT infrastructure. Taking place at Wibu-Systems’ headquarters with the roundtable streamed globally, this high-level forum unites leading minds from industry, academia, and technology to address the digital transformations shaping business models and national security strategies.

At a time of growing geopolitical tension, accelerated digitalization, and an imminent quantum computing shift, INNO DAYS 2025 offers critical insights and actionable strategies for stakeholders across the software and hardware sectors. The event opens with a dedicated networking dinner in Karlsruhe, setting the tone for a robust knowledge-sharing and collaboration experience.

On July 3rd, participants will engage in a full-day program featuring keynote speeches, live demonstrations, and deep-dive panels. With speakers from Roche, SAP, KIT, Infineon, Rohde & Schwarz, and others, the event tackles emerging business opportunities in Asia, novel methods for license enforcement, and the direct implications of sweeping EU legislation such as the Cyber Resilience Act, AI Act, and NIS2 Directive.

Targeted for product managers, legal and compliance professionals, cybersecurity specialists, and executives navigating the increasingly complex global regulatory and technological terrain, INNO DAYS 2025 serves not only as a stage for Wibu-Systems’ own innovations − such as CodeMeter Protection Suite, a toolkit for encrypting and obfuscating software across platforms; CodeMeter License Central, the cloud-based backend for automating software license creation, deployment, and management; CodeMeter License Portal, the customizable self-service interface for license activation and entitlement handling; and the soon-to-be rolled out CodeMeter License Reporting, a data analytics module offering insight into how software is used − but as a dialogue-enabling arena to foster best practices and joint solutions.

Agenda Highlights:

• Global Business Outlook: Prof. Dr. Manuel Vermeer (Dr. Vermeer Consult) offers insights into Asia’s economic trajectory, cultural barriers, and opportunities across India, Indonesia, and beyond.
• Next-Gen License Enforcement: Axel Engelmann (Wibu-Systems) explores scalable, secure licensing integrated with AI-driven protection, across C++, Rust, Python, and more.
• EU Regulations Demystified: Dr. Christian Foerster (Bartsch Rechtsanwaelte) decodes upcoming EU mandates and their ripple effects on cybersecurity and IT product development.
• Case Studies in Practice:
  • Rohde & Schwarz (Silke Werner) on standardizing software licensing via CodeMeter.
  • Euresys (Stéphan Hausoul) on licensing high-performance machine vision libraries.
  • Roche Diagnostics (Oliver Russek) on unifying entitlement and provisioning across medical software portfolios.
• Cyber Threat Landscape: Christoph Fischer (BFK edv-consulting) discusses the rise of sabotage, espionage, and asymmetric warfare in a fractured geopolitical environment.
• Product Innovation: The introduction of CodeMeter License Reporting, presented by Florian Schneider and Holger Marquetant (Wibu-Systems), reveals a new analytics layer to understand software usage behavior and drive monetization strategies.
• Quantum Computing and Digital Sovereignty Roundtable (Live-streamed): A forward-looking discussion on building quantum-resilient IT systems, with Thomas Depeweg (SAP), Dr. Detlef Houdeau (Infineon), Prof. Dr. Joern Mueller-Quade (KIT), and Oliver Winzenried (Wibu-Systems), moderated by Steve Atkins (Krowne Communications).

Live demos by INFORMATICS and Nitrobox will showcase real-life CodeMeter deployments in SAP licensing and flexible subscription billing, providing attendees with direct access to implementation best practices.

“INNO DAYS 2025 is designed as a compass for organizations navigating the transformative tides of digital regulation, software monetization, and post-quantum security. By uniting diverse perspectives from enterprise, research, and law, we provide a forum for grounded dialogue and strategic foresight.” – Oliver Winzenried, CEO and Founder, WIBU-SYSTEMS AG.
