Public workshop on digital transformation

The challenges of digitalization in sensor technology faced by small and medium-sized enterprises will be the topic of the first joint iCampμs workshop on Thursday, September 29, 2022.

The Corona pandemic showed it: Companies that had already invested in digitization had a clear advantage. These companies made the most of their opportunities, even if the road to digital transformation was difficult. The challenges that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face when entering the digital world and their approaches to solving them are the subject of the workshop "Sensor technology - sense organs of digitization". In face-to-face meetings and an informal exchange in a pleasant atmosphere, networking will be strengthened and innovative ideas for activities within the iCampμs project will be planned and realized.

Date: Thursday, September 29, 2022, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Location: Gut Branitz, Heinrich-Zille-Straße 120, 03042 Cottbus, www.gut-branitz.de/

All interested parties are cordially invited. To cover the costs, we will charge a participation fee of 100 euros (incl. applicable VAT) We kindly ask for a binding registration until September 27, 2022 at https://icampuscottbus.de/workshopanmeldung/.
