Basic production technology 2030

Manufacturing is the engine of innovation

Only when an idea makes the journey from research and development to production—and does so at the right moment—can it succeed in the market. In an era of global upheaval and dynamic markets, this is precisely what determines the competitiveness and future viability of our companies.

Yet technological excellence alone is no longer enough.
It takes courage, foresight, and the determination to work together to shape future-proof solutions for the manufacturing of tomorrow. New paths emerge when strong partners join forces to think beyond industry, disciplinary, and national boundaries.

Structural feature for future viability

The Digital Twin Competence Center creates a space for precisely this kind of exchange.
It is a vibrant forum for decision-makers from industry, research, and academia who wish to actively shape the future of manufacturing technology by leveraging deep tech, strategic partnerships, and sustainable drivers of innovation.

The focus is on manufacturing technologies as a structural feature of future-proof production in the key sectors of aviation, energy, automotive, and defense.

Deep Tech meets industry

The Digital Twin Competence Center is dedicated to aligning manufacturing technology with the needs of the industry of tomorrow. Particular emphasis is placed on market and product perspectives for future-proof technologies.

Here, leading minds from industry and academia come together to discuss, shape, and steer the requirements for the future of manufacturing technology—with the aim of not only enabling innovations but also successfully translating them into actual production.

“We bring together people who not only talk about the future but shape it.”
