Embedded World is a trade show for the development of Embedded Systems, located in Nuremberg Germany. This year, the show runs March 11th to March 13th.
Rust has showcased at Embedded World for the past few years, and the list of companies offering services in Rust continues to grow.
OneVariable GmbH will be presenting this year, and we put together a list of all the booths featuring services or support for Rust, to make sure we can visit them all while we're there.
Come say hello to all of the companies listed here, and support all the folks showcasing Rust at Embedded World 2025! Don't forget to ask your favorite silicon and tool vendors what their plans are for supporting Rust!
If your company is also showcasing Rust at Embedded World and we missed you in this post, drop us a message, and we'll add you.
Rust on Embedded Booth (Hall 5, 5-280)
The Rust On Embedded Booth is shared by three companies that provide advising, consulting, development, and training services in Rust:
- OneVariable GmbH (that's us!)
- Tweede golf
- Sarif
If you're interested in chatting about Rust, or need assistance with starting or scaling up your next project, come talk to all three companies in one place!
OneVariable will have a hardware demo for Poststation, a lightweight communication protocol for connecting embedded systems to applications. It features fifteen RP2040 and RP2350 devices connected to a single computer, with firmware built in Rust.
Tweede golf will be giving two talks: "Rust Embedded Ecosystem: An Overview" (March 11th, 11:30am), and "Using Rust with Existing Systems" (March 11th, 2:15pm), and will be giving a class: "Advanced Embedded Rust" (March 12th, 2:00pm).
Sarif will have a hardware demo of an electronic board game device, featuring an STM32 microcontroller and firmware built in Rust.
Ferrous Systems (Hall 4, 4-402)
Ferrous Systems provides advising, consulting, development, and training services in Rust.
They will also be presenting Ferrocene for Rust, an open-source qualified Rust compiler toolchain for safety- and mission-critical. Ferrocene is qualified for automotive, industrial and medical development, under ISO26262 (ASIL D), IEC 61508 (SIL 4) and IEC 62304 available targeting Linux, QNX Neutrino or your choice of RTOS.
Espressif Systems (Hall 4A, 4A-131)
Espressif Systems are the developers of the ESP32 family of chips, which offer RISC-V and Xtensa architecture microcontollers, as well as support for Wi-Fi, BLE, and other wireless communication protocols.
Espressif is one of the earliest silicon vendors to offer official support for development in Rust, and members of the esp-rs project (libraries and tooling for developing on ESP32 devices in Rust) will be attending Embedded World.
KDAB (Hall 4, 4-302)
KDAB provides consulting, development, and training services in Rust. From their booth page:

AdaCore (Hall 4, 4-148)
AdaCore offers software development and verification tools for mission-critical, safety-critical, and security-critical systems. From their booth page:
Customers have used AdaCore products to field and maintain various critical applications in domains such as commercial and government systems, railway, space, automotive, security systems, air traffic management/control, medical devices, and financial services. AdaCore products are open source and come with expert online support provided by the developers themselves.
Adacore will also be presenting GNAT Pro for Rust, an early-access toolchain for Rust in critical industries. From their product website:
We’re developing GNAT Pro for Rust with the intent to support safety-certification needs such as avionics (DO-178), rail (EN-50128), space (ECSS-E-ST-40C and ECSS-Q-ST-80C) and others. Our roadmap includes certification of language libraries (such as a subset of
libcore), source-to-object traceability study and compiler qualification, similar to what is already available with GNAT Pro for Ada and GNAT Pro for C/C++.
HighTec EDV (Hall 4, 4-432)
HighTec EDV offers Rust compiler toolchains for critical embedded targets, including Infineon AURIX and ARM based Stellar from STMicroelectronics.
HighTec EDV will also be presenting their Compiler Toolchain for Rust. From their product page:
