Expert talk
Details
Around the world traditional manufacturing industry is in the middle of a rapid digital transformation. Although still in an early stage, the developments commonly referred to as the 4th industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0) are shaping the world in a breadth and depth, rarely seen before.
Due to the rise of mobile internet, artificial intelligence and sensor technology the world’s physical and virtual systems become interlinked and allow global interactions in a much more flexible way. At the same time, digitization is fundamentally disrupting existing business models and reshuffling international supply chains, like the garment sector. Companies and countries need to adapt to this rapid change if they are not to be left behind.
The event is organised in cooperation with the German Business Group.
