https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDoksEYHGbA&t=8s A glimpse of WearRAcon Europe 2025 @ A+A Düsseldorf. Mark Harris, HeroWear co-founder and CEO, lays out steps for the exoskeleton industry to help speed adoption and mainstream exo technology. His presentation and call to action were an awesome way to end the conference!

Is it time to start treating occupational tech as an established and proven solution? We are almost there argues Mark, but to reach the finish line together, the community should: (1) double down on large-scale, real-world evidence (often via manufacturer–client collaborations rather than slow RCTs), (2) measure ROI transparently and conservatively to avoid overpromising, and (3) secure and share more named case studies to build trust and accelerate large-scale adoption.
