Research
Exploration of digital technologies & development of the sector-specific applications
As part of the “High-Tech Strategy 2025“ and “Artificial Intelligence Strategy“, the federal German government is funding research projects that deal with the exploration of digital technologies and their integration in various user industries. As a leading company for advanced big data analytics and real-time optimisation, we regularly receive requests to participate in these federal research projects. We are very happy to contribute our expertise as a project partner or consortium leader to advance digitalisation and Industry 4.0.
Together with partners, we are also constantly developing innovative digital and industry-specific applications. Our know-how also flows into standardisation guidelines, which we participate in developing both as a committee member and in a leadership role.
