The European mechanical engineering industry is facing profound change that will have a significant impact on our economic future. As part of the Connect2Discover@VDMA series of events, our Business Advisory Department presents a current assessment of the situation: Where do we stand today, what challenges lie ahead, and how can we meet them?

This analysis is more than just a status report: it is a wake-up call, an impetus for action, and a strategic compass for the future. The results of our joint study “Future Outlook 2030–35” with McKinsey are clear: international competition, especially from China, is increasing noticeably. At the same time, geopolitical upheavals, digital transformation, and the necessary shift toward sustainable solutions are demanding a radical rethinking of our existing business models. Our traditional strengths alone are no longer sufficient to secure long-term prosperity and innovation leadership.

But this is precisely where great opportunities lie.
We will show you concrete options for action that emerge from the study – and how we can actively shape change and emerge stronger from it.

What you can expect in the first part of our event:

• Analysis: Where do we really stand in global competition?
• Success factors: What makes tomorrow's winners.
• Practical solutions: Concrete steps for your company.

Gain crucial insights now and make your company future-proof!

In the second part, we will give you a broader overview of how the VDMA Business Advisory Team can support you in other ways. What services we offer and what topics they cover. Here you will find your contacts for important topics that are driving the industry forward.

Be there and register now! We look forward to seeing you!
