Hannover Messe 2019 / Industry 4.0
'Industrial Pioneers Summit' gets underway
More and more companies are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization to optimize processes. However, technologies such as AI also raise social issues. The 'Industrial Pioneers Summit' at Hannover Messe 2019 will provide a glimpse into the factory of tomorrow.
At the preview of Hannover Messe 2019 at the end of January, Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG, gave an outlook on the 'Industrial Pioneers Summit', which will be launched for the first time this year: This is to become the new central stage for visionaries, thought leaders and innovation drivers in the field of Industry 4.0 at Hannover Messe.
© German Trade FairIndustry 4.0 is already a reality in many companies and is shaping everyday life in production and logistics. But what's next? What comes after Industry 4.0? What challenges need to be overcome and where do the opportunities and risks of industrial change lie? The new 'Industrial Pioneers Summit' will address these questions at Hannover Messe 2019. On Tuesday, April 2 (12:30-18:00, Convention Center, Hall 2), experts from business, politics and society will discuss the smart factory of tomorrow. The main focus will be on innovative developments and the resulting change processes. The focus will be on topics such as augmented reality, the new 5G network standard and innovative transportation solutions, such as the use of hyperloop technologies.
Speakers include pioneers such as Klaus Helmrich(Siemens), Prof. Dr. Dr. Detlef Zühlke (Smartfactory-KL), Christine Bowles(Intel), Volkhard Bregulla (Hewlett Packard Enterprises), Vincent Peng(Huawei), Åsa Tamsons(Ericsson), Georg Kube(SAP) and Dirk Ahlborn from Hyperloop Transportation Technologies - a start-up that is building the 'Hyperloop', a system that transports people and goods in a capsule at a speed of up to 1200 km/h.
EU Commissioner Günther Oettinger will be present from the world of politics. Socio-political aspects will be discussed by Çağlayan Arkan(Microsoft): "Increasing automation opens up completely new career paths and access to newly qualified workers through retraining. And this is just the beginning. There are extremely attractive opportunities for all of us here."
