Technology Roadmaps & Studies
Roadmap for corporate strategy

The goal is in sight - but the path is unclear and difficult, and every decision bears risks. The case is the same for all companies seeking to tap into new technologies or markets. Now, sherpas with experience and advice are needed: Our studies serve as guideposts, roadmaps present a vision of the industry's future, serve as investment guidelines and promote pre-competitive collaboration.
Topics range from Industry 4.0 and mobility all the way to new forms of energy and organic electronics.
