At this year’s IZB, the IZB-Livestage served as a platform for Volkswagen and for exhibiting companies. Volkswagen speakers reported on the demands and expectations placed on supplier companies and provided insights into developments such as the Trinity world. Exhibitors used the IZB-Livestage as an opportunity to shine the spotlight on special product highlights or to present their expertise.
The presentations, talks, panel discussions and Q&A sessions are now still available to stream in full in our Media Center. Find out about the latest demands that Volkswagen is placing on its suppliers, for example in the presentation on “Information Security at Volkswagen” by Michael Kramm, Head of Group Information Security, or the talk on the “Future Purchasing Strategy of the Volkswagen Group” by Dr Geng Wu, Head of Purchasing Transformation in the Volkswagen Group. You can also discover plenty of exciting insights into the Volkswagen world and find out about explicit requirements for suppliers based on these developments, for example in the presentation “Digital@Trinity – what do we expect from our suppliers to establish the digital future of production?”. In connection with the key topic of “Volkswagen – our future as a mobility service provider”, the panel discussion on “How will Co-creation work in the future?”, for example, takes an explicit look at what supplier companies are expected and required to do to shape successful cooperation in the years to come.
