We’re experiencing an incredible wave of new technologies that are poised to transform our energy systems. The development of renewable energy sources and advancements in storage technologies are merely the tip of the iceberg. From nanotechnology, robotics and additive manufacturing to machine learning, artificial intelligence and data science; almost no industry is being disrupted as much as the energy industry. In the very near future, energy will not only be produced differently, it will be distributed, shared and consumed differently. How will customers and suppliers adapt to this new world? Thought leaders like Siemens are leading the transformation of their markets and also of their own organizations.

(Session in English)

We’re in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution – never before have innovative technologies been developed and established as fast as they do today. The drivers behind those innovations very often are startups blazing new trails and disrupting entire industries. Small, innovative companies are changing our lifes – companies like Airbnb, Hello Fresh or Uber are just a few examples of those so-called Unicorns. In many cases, Venture Capitals are instrumental for those companies to turn their visionary ideas into reality.

But, what does it take to get investors excited about your idea? What are the technology trends that VC's believe will shape the future and are worth investing in over the next few years? What experiences did other successful founders of innovative startups make and what challenges did they face? And how did they succeed in making their business scalable and successful, and becoming big players shaking up the established businesses?


Listen to our startup session with Susan Danziger, CEO of Ziggeo, Sandra Raßfeld, Vice President Strategic Projects of Thermondo and Oliver Muhr, CEO of Seerene, to learn the answers and get many more business insights.

(Session in English)

The Fourth industrial revolution is changing our world - the way we work, the way we live, and even the way we do and how we consume sports.

Enjoying global sports events is a totally different experience today than it was 20 years ago - today you get news on your phone, connect with teams, or create digital communities with other fans. The sports 'industry' needs to adapt to new technologies as well as to changing consumer behaviours and expectations.

Adidas, a global leader in the sporting goods industry with its core brands adidas and Reebok, is leading the way. Headquartered in Herzogenaurach, the company employs almost 57,000 people across the globe and generated sales of approximately EUR 21 billion in 2017.

In this panel Stephanie Peterson, VP Digital | Planning and Activation, and Peter Gruber, Peter Gruber, Sr. Director Global IT | Head of Domain Architecture, will elaborate not only how adidas is transforming itself - but actually transform the entire sports industry.

(Session in English)

The fourth industrial revolution is changing our world, our companies, our society, the way we live. New technologies from AI to robotics, from nanotechnology to the Internet of Things, are going to impact our world more than any other revolution before.
Transportation will be one of the areas most affected. While our need for mobility in a global world will increase dramatically, there are challenges, too - how to provide mobility solutions in a sustainable, customer focused way, integrating all types of mobility, from trains to planes, from bikes to cars?
And how are companies transforming themselves in this environment - like Deutsche Bahn, the largest railway operator and provider of infrastructure in Europe – and the second largest transport company worldwide?
In this fireside chat Christa Koenen, newly appointed Chief Information Officer of Deutsche Bahn, will discuss the challenges ahead – sharing insights of DB's transformation in all its aspects: From a technology standpoint as well as from an environmental point of view, touching the business dimension as well as the cultural dimension of Deutsche Bahn's incredible transformation.
