Dr. Harald Neidhardt, a scientist in geoecology at the University of Tübingen, gives an insight into the work of the Futur/io institute in his keynote speech. His mission is to help organizations and a network of chief sustainability officers to develop their sustainable roadmaps by 2030. Using vivid examples and ideas for a new era of regenerative shaping of the future, he inspires others to replace linear thinking with moonshot thinking. He also calls for a different kind of transformation to achieve decisive changes in organizational development before the end of 2030 – through inspiration, ideas, and innovation. One of Harald Neidhardt’s passions is expressing natural processes as metaphors and conveying a sense of time and the future. One approach is to see metamorphosis as a symbol of change – in contrast to the much too slow (digital) transformation that has been going on at Deutschland AG for more than 30 years.

HARTMANN is a leading and globally active provider of medical and healthcare solutions for many years. In its more than 200-year history, the company has reinvented itself time and again. It is currently undergoing the next transformation step. The status quo of the international healthcare system is being put to the test: in many countries, the demographic trend is moving toward an increasingly aging population - and the resulting rise in healthcare costs is leading to ever greater financial challenges. This makes the digitization of the health care sector all the more important. It enables patients to receive care that is as personalized and evidence-based as it is efficient and convenient. How is HARTMANN dealing with the situation? In what way is HARTMANN driving digitalization in the direction of patients and consumers and how is it using digital technologies internally to increase efficiency?

The battery is at the heart of future mobility – it enables emission-free mobility, but it also brings its own challenges. This is because the resources for building lithium-ion batteries are limited – at the same time, they are predestined for innovative approaches to the circular economy. For this reason, topics such as recycling, or second-life management of batteries are increasingly coming into focus. In this presentation, we will show which technical and economic aspects need to be taken into account. You will also learn how digital twins can be used to monitor and optimize a battery – including static and dynamic data over the entire life cycle as well as permanent monitoring of the state of health and new predictive maintenance options. Update your expertise on electromobility. Mobility Services Stage M | 03:10 - 03:30 pm | Impulse Session
