Get to know us.
Ladies and gentlemen, dear interested parties,
I am very pleased about your interest in the Industry Business Network 4.0 e.V. association and would like to thank you very much.
The Industry Business Network 4.0 e.V. was founded on September 28, 2016 with the goal of forming a network and creating cross-vendor Industry 4.0 solutions at eye level with real benefits for our customers. Something that small and medium-sized companies would struggle to achieve on their own.
Large corporations have already recognized the potential of Industry 4.0 and have accordingly aligned their activities to it. Although the topic has meanwhile been tackled by small and medium-sized companies, the necessary know-how or a basic strategy to successfully use the approaches of Industry 4.0 is mostly still missing. A study by Commerzbank shows that 86% of all German companies agree that the topic of Industry 4.0 represents a huge opportunity for European industry to further expand its leading position in international competition. By joining the Industry Business Network 4.0 e.V. association, you are taking the first step towards taking advantage of this opportunity.
In the name of the entire association, your
Igor Mikulina
(First Chairman of the Industry Business Network 4.0 e.V.)
