The workplaces of tomorrow: How is our working world changing? We analyse forward-looking work environments, new leadership approaches and transformative corporate cultures.
Digital transformation: Digital transformation is accelerating dramatically – with far-reaching consequences for all sectors. We research the latest digitalisation trends, disruptive business models and critical future skills from a corporate perspective.
Artificial intelligence (AI): AI is rapidly evolving from hype to business standard. We examine user experience, data strategies, industrial AI applications, as well as their opportunities, risks and regulatory challenges.
Mobility and logistics: Our research ranges from connected mobility concepts and automated driving to issues of supply and infrastructure.
Sustainability and resilience: Climate strategies are becoming a matter of survival for companies. We explore approaches in the circular economy and innovative energy systems that are redefining Germany as an industrial location.
Production and value creation: Industry 4.0 is followed by the next leap – we focus on technologies that are fundamentally transforming the manufacturing landscape, e.g. connected production, advanced systems engineering and digital engineering.
Urban systems: Smart neighbourhood development, the reinvention of tourism and hospitality post-pandemic, and data-driven urban solutions. We demonstrate how cities must respond to the climate crisis, demographic change and digitalisation.
Virtual worlds: Augmented realities, digital twins and virtual avatars – we separate hype from substance and show which companies are already creating real value in virtual worlds today.
Future technologies: Quantum computing, neuro-work science and cybersecurity – the underestimated tech revolutions away from the headlines. Our researchers provide in-depth insights into technologies that will shape the future.
