23rd Eastern Switzerland Technology Symposium (OTS)

Advanced Manufacturing - Be and remain innovative

This year's symposium on the topic of ‘Advanced Manufacturing - being and remaining innovative’ presented solutions for Swiss companies to remain competitive and sustainable despite current challenges such as energy costs, a shortage of skilled labor and stricter regulations. It presented ways in which advanced manufacturing can contribute to strengthening Swiss industry.


A key aspect of this strengthening is digitalization. Christian Schmid, CEO, focused on this topic in his speech and presented a practical guide to the successful implementation of a data strategy in manufacturing companies. Using concrete examples from practice, he illustrated how other companies are successfully implementing these strategies. Afterwards, many interested parties took the opportunity to stop by the EPS table stand and discuss open questions in a personal dialogue.

The 23rd Eastern Switzerland Technology Symposium seamlessly built on the success of previous events. The topics discussed are of great importance for the attractiveness of the location as well as for technology and production services. In view of the current economic challenges, SMEs must be proactive and future-orientated. A central theme here is the maxim: ‘Be and remain innovative’.

This event offered a fascinating mix of practical presentations and the latest research findings, combined with excellent networking opportunities. The inspiring experience provided participants with fresh ideas and forward-looking impulses that will equip them perfectly for the challenges of tomorrow.
