The ACHEMA Digital Hub

Digitalization has established itself as one of the top items on the process industry agenda and has become an ever-stronger topic in the ACHEMA community - high time to close the ranks with the digital ecosystem at ACHEMA 2022!
Digitalization and the ensuing digital transformation has staked its claim way beyond the traditional realms of IT departments and arrived at the core of the ACHEMA community, sometimes with brute force. Expectations to leverage efficiencies and create new opportunities keep rising in sync with the breadth and speed of technologies becoming available to the industry. Technology, of course, is necessary but not sufficient for long-term success: people development and transformational leadership are just as important.
Many exhibitors have begun to partner with the digital ecosystem and digital players, on the other hand, sport some impressive industry-specific use cases by now.  But: A lot of work remains to be done. The implementation in process industry´s delicate processes is all but easy and many in our ACHEMA community are looking hard to find viable solutions that work and deliver what they promise. And, more importantly: Fit well into the often brownfield context and integrate effortlessly with each other and legacy systems already in place.
High time to close the ranks, we thought, and initiated the ACHEMA Digital Hub.
