“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.

Our successes

The network of experts on the platform contains specialist mentors for all questions relating to Industrie 4.0. Insights gained from research and practice regularly produce concepts and action options for the implementation of Industrie 4.0. 

The Plattform Industrie 4.0 has established Industrie 4.0 internationally as a brand and generates stimuli for the international discourse on the digitalisation of production. The platform maintains numerous cooperations with national and international alliances.
