Mastering industry change — operating successfully in new markets with an existing product portfolio

9.30 – 10.15 a.m.

Dr Paul Wild and Michael Hanke, Rehm Thermal Systems

New industries — new markets. This presentation shows how new markets can be successfully reached by adapting and realigning the product portfolio and developing new concepts.

From powder to electrolyser — materials expertise for the energy transition

10.15 — 10.45 a.m.

Dr Sindy Mosch, Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS

In this presentation, we will explore the role of Fraunhofer IKTS in the development of advanced materials and components for applications such as high-temperature electrolysis and power electronics. We will highlight how we support the industry as an R&D partner, from concept development to market launch. Learn about our innovative solutions and opportunities for collaboration.

LeAIdership: changing leadership, work and collaboration

12.00 — 01.00 p.m.

Professor Dr Isabell Welpe, TU München  

Artificial intelligence and digital technologies are enabling the emergence of new business models and success factors, particularly through automation and AI tools. Managers and employees are facing challenges that require new skills in order to effectively shape the transformation of work and anchor innovative approaches in the company. International best-practice examples show how companies can operate successfully without traditional thought patterns and strengthen their ability to innovate through cultural change.
