Learning from start-ups

The congress offers company managers, executives and decision-makers from specialist departments and IT an interactive platform to present and discuss innovative strategies, new business models, business solutions and technologies relating to digital transformation.

In his opening keynote, Prof. August-Wilhelm Scheer will talk about what established companies can learn from successful startups.

The lecture program is divided into three thematic blocks: Strategy, Business and Technology.

In the presentations, discussions and individual talks, congress visitors will learn how their companies can consistently seize, implement and exploit the opportunities of digitalization.

In the exhibition forum, experts from Scheer companies and various partner companies will be available to talk to visitors.

Digitalization becomes tangible in the Digital Lounge Café. Participants can use the Scheer BPaaS process tool to implement their own digitalization ideas in the form of a business application in just a few minutes without any prior knowledge.

An exciting augmented reality scenario rounds off the supporting program.

In the lecture program, congress guests can expect a practical report on the strategic orientation of the Hager Group, a provider of solutions and services for electrotechnical installations.

At Hager, services for end customers are seen as the driving force behind digitalization.

Digitalization is also the enabler for increasing efficiency and speed at ppp4its GmbH, a subsidiary of Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder (VBL).

The development of smart Oral-B products involves new business models, as does the surface and decor manufacturer FunderMax.

The presentations by Harting, a producer of connection technology for networking machines and systems, and Q-loud, a company that specializes in services for the Internet of Things (IoT), have a clear technology focus.

The Swedish company SKF is represented with an English presentation that positions enterprise architecture as an answer to the challenges of digital disruption.
