6th Thuringian Engineering Day: On the way to climate-friendly production

Around 80 representatives from business, politics and science met in Erfurt on October 12, 2022 to learn about the future of production at the 6th Thuringian Engineering Day. Key questions, such as how Thuringian companies can meet the disruptive challenges with digitalization and sustainability, were answered.

In addition to an exciting keynote on the topic, companies presented their latest developments as a result of joint research with ThZM partners. There was also plenty of time to exchange ideas with the speakers and participants of the event and to discuss the further development of production in Thuringia. Dr. Andreas Patschger, head of the ThZM coordination office, summarized the outcome of the discussions:

The lively interest in the Thuringian Mechanical Engineering Day shows the need of Thuringian companies to increasingly deal with decarbonization and resource-saving processes. Material and energy efficiency in manufacturing not only protects the environment, but also the wallet. Today it became clear that digitization is not an end in itself, but is increasingly being used in companies for economic reasons.
