Urbanization

Big cities, major tasks

By 2030, nine billion people are expected to live on planet Earth – about 70 percent of them in urban areas. This is why cities are increasingly determining the development of our planet. Urbanization is thus one of the biggest challenges for now – and in the future.

Mobility

Health

Medical technology ensures good health and quality of life

Medical technology serves us through all stages of life – from birth to old age. Digitalization will drive this trend even further. On the one hand, more and more data is readily available to the doctor. On the other hand, the patients themselves gather an increasing amount of information on their health.

Work 4.0

Work 4.0 – Humans at its heart

It is the year 2025. The mechanical engineering industry has cemented and expanded its leading position on the world market. This success is entirely based on one aspect: the people that work there.

Food

Milk: from the field to the fridge

Everyone knows dairy products. In every possible variety. But hardly anyone knows exactly where they come from and how they are produced. Whether yogurt, drinking milk, cheese or curd – in every stage of production, innovative technologies ensure the production of high-quality food that is both tasty and healthy.

Energy

Synthetic gas from green electricity

How can electricity from solar, wind and hydropower be stored on a large scale? How can it then be used to heat homes, in transportation and in industry? Power-to-gas is the answer: Synthetic gas can be obtained from environmentally-friendly electricity and water.

Materials

Lightweight and solar powered around the world

As early as 1891, aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal covered 25 meters in a controlled glide flight. In 1894 his Normalsegelapparat (normal glider), weighing only 20 kilograms, went into mass production. A good 120 years later, the first solar aircraft circumnavigated the earth without any fuel – thanks to the extremely lightweight construction.
