“Digitalization and AI as Drivers of Future Value Creation”
15 April, doors open at 5:30 pm; event starts at 6:00 pm
Digitalization and artificial intelligence are increasingly becoming central drivers of industrial value creation.
They open up new opportunities to develop competitive products and services, optimize processes and tap into growth potential in a targeted way.
Together with experts from industry and research, BusinessCode will discuss the opportunities that arise for the German economy from the targeted integration of digitalization and AI.
- The event focuses on:
- Practical insights from industrial applications
- Expert contributions on current developments
- Concrete impulses for product innovation, process improvement and new growth drivers
- Open exchange of experience between companies
The keynote presentations provide concrete food for thought and offer numerous starting points for further dialogue.
Industrial value creation is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Digitalization and artificial intelligence are evolving from technological trends into central drivers of competitiveness, innovation and growth.
The decisive question is no longer whether companies adopt these technologies, but how they succeed in effectively integrating them into existing processes, systems and organizational structures.
The event provides a practical look at how this integration succeeds, what role data, systems and people play, and where concrete starting points lie for companies in the manufacturing sector.
