Service Lunch: “Eating, Learning, Netzworking” – Data Spaces in Manufacturing – ​From Connected Production to Shared Value

Manufacturing data is most valuable when it creates connections across systems and companies. This lunch shows how MES can leverage data from ERP and shopfloor levels to enable collaboration & transparency in production. Using the EuProGigant “Part Matching” use case, Clemens Neuwirth illustrates how shared data can unlock new efficiencies and value creation within manufacturing networks.​

Smart Services Summit 2025: Smart Services for a Sustainable and Resilient Future

The Smart Service Summit 2025 invites academics, industry leaders, and practitioners to explore how smart services, AI, digitalisation, and data-driven innovations contribute to value co-creation and sustainability in manufacturing, logistics, mobility, smart cities, and finance. As industries continue to evolve, the shift towards service-driven business models is gaining momentum. In this context, modular service platforms are becoming increasingly relevant, providing flexibility, adaptability, and opportunities for service innovation. These platforms enable firms to integrate digital solutions, optimise service delivery, and enhance co-creation within dynamic ecosystems. This year’s summit will connect academic research with real-world industry challenges, focusing on smart services as key enablers of business innovation, sustainability, circular economy reporting, and future-ready ecosystems.

Lunch & Lecture: Behind the startup hype

A convincing idea, substantial investment from third parties, the business takes off and is ultimately sold at top prices. The start-up sector is hip and successful. At the same time, consulting and support formats for founders are booming.

But how many start-ups actually survive? What does it mean to get external capital on board? And what promising strategies are there that do not rely on rapid growth and high levels of outside capital?
