Events

The Hightech Summit is the summit meeting of the high-tech industry in Baden-Württemberg. The event, which is organized by bwcon,  has been bringing together up to 1,000 guests since 2015. Decision-makers from Baden-Württemberg companies, from innovation and transformation departments, business development and venturing, from banks and municipalities come together at this event. The aim of the event is to present the status quo in terms of digitization and to show ways in which this can succeed. 

Focus sessions: Digital care, cooperation with start-ups in production, energy efficiency in building management
This year, the participants can expect three focus sessions on the main topics "Digital Care", "Cooperation with Start-ups in production" and "Energy Efficiency in Building Management".
