From AI agents to digital twins: innovation meets practice

Artificial intelligence is changing the world of work - how can you use these technologies to reduce risks in your business model?

On 9 April 2025, you will find out how you can use AI agents and digital twins to manage risks, optimise processes and meet ethical and regulatory requirements - for your long-term competitiveness.

Capital market-oriented companies are under immense pressure to meet investor expectations while optimising their earnings, liquidity and capital allocation. This pressure can lead to strategic uncertainties. Learn from leading experts how you can ensure resilient business performance and meet the increasing demands.

The pressure on companies to act more sustainably is growing - and with this the risk of losing competitiveness through impetuous measures. We discuss with experts from business, politics and science how risk-conscious and transparent approaches can help to create sustainable value. We also shed light on how companies can use technology and targeted measures to overcome regulatory hurdles such as the CSRD.  

Based on the COP29 results, we discuss the key findings of our study "Corporate Decarbonisation and Industrial Performance in Germany" and take a look at how successful companies actually are on their way to Net Zero. We highlight the obstacles companies face and the strategies needed to achieve climate targets.
