Climate & Energy

The megatrend climate and energy is one of the most omnipresent trends of our time. The last time the global temperature was as high as it is today was 100.000 years ago. The concentration of CO2 was last at today's level three to four million years ago.

Automation

Automatization is the technology by which a process or procedure is performed with minimal human assistance. It is the use of various control systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching on telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other applications and vehicles.

Health & Age

In developing countries, access to affordable basic care and survival (life expectancy, child mortality) are central. In OECD countries, health and happiness can hardly be separated. People place new expectations on the health system, companies and infrastructures and wish to live in health-promoting environments.

New Mobility

Technical innovations and changing human needs are becoming the driving force behind new forms of mobility: networked, digital, emission-free and shared. What we are experiencing is an evolution of mobility.

Digitisation

The term digitization covers all forms of technically networked digital communication such as broadband communication, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Big Data, e-commerce, smart home or Industry 4.0.
