Cities face fundamental challenges: endless traffic jams, high levels of pollution, and inefficient transport systems are the hallmarks of the city around the world. In addition, more and more companies are withdrawing from urban areas, which is making cities less attractive. More than ever, they are called upon to improve the quality of life of their citizens and to meet the stipulated climate protection and sustainability goals. Smart City approaches are increasingly paving the way. The best connect diverse data sources from urban institutions and private companies to establish new digital services. One example of this is the Intelligent City Performance platform initiated by Porsche and continued by MHP: ICP for short. As a neutral, open, and cloud-based platform, it enables cities and local companies to jointly develop innovative use cases – from displaying free parking spaces and charging stations to monitoring air quality and emission-based mobility management. In this introductory presentation you will learn about the advantages of a tried-and-tested smart city ecosystem and how it works. Mobility Services Stage M | 12:40 - 01:00 pm | Impulse Session

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

The last of its kind - The challenges IT will face after major projects IT has become a highly dynamic competitive factor - it must be continuously developed to ensure that complex business processes run efficiently and securely at all times. From customer experience to manufacturing and logistics. This brings new challenges: How can the know-how of IT systems be secured for everyone? How can technical monocultures and dependencies on service providers and software vendors be avoided? And what will the IT infrastructures and large-scale digital projects of the future look like? You will get answers to these and other questions in this impulse lecture. You can look forward to valuable impulses that will help you and your company to correctly assess the opportunities and risks of modern IT systems as well as their external requirements and dependencies.

Mistakes are the driving force behind all personal development. So let’s talk about them! Let’s talk about the cloud migration journey that didn’t go as planned. The journey to the cloud is a big topic for many of our customers right now, so it’s only logical that we too were once taking our first steps into the cloud. This introductory presentation, drawn from the experiences of an expert software developer and architect from MHP, shows the side that hardly anyone else talks about: What can go wrong on a cloud journey? Almost more important, however, is how we dealt with our mistakes and what we learned from them – especially what we learned about error culture. Join us on an exciting journey full of (wrong) decisions and get ready to hear about best practices and experiences that will help you to at least avoid making the same mistakes we did.

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.
