“Plattform Industrie 4.0”
From AI to the future of work: the Plattform Industrie 4.0 sees the digital transformation of industry as a social project. Shaping that transformation together is the central idea of the Plattform Industrie 4.0 – one of the largest Industrie 4.0 networks worldwide. Over 350 protagonists from the economy, associations, science, trade unions and the world of politics work together in the platform in three main lines of action: thinking ahead from a specialist point of view, maintaining (inter)national cooperations and supporting the SME sector. In the mission statement for 2030 they combine technology with values of social market economy.
