👀 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒! 🗯 Philipp Klöckner, investor, advisor and podcast host Doppelgänger Tech Talk Podcast shared valuable insights, developments, use cases and problems of the tech scene on stage at this year's Hinterland of Things. Not surprisingly, one of the main topics was AI and its impact on the industry. 🤖 Half of mid-sized companies are already using some form of AI, though they may not even realize it. Generative AI is already being used to search for information and generate text, but Pip sees much greater potential in this technology. AI could redefine productivity and change industries like logistics and demand planning, which could be a real advantage for manufacturing and midsize companies. 📈 As one of Germany's most respected technology investors and analysts, he has significant expertise in digital transformation and innovation, and is known for his deep insights into how technology, particularly artificial intelligence, can drive efficiency and growth in the mid-market. His work focuses on integrating cutting-edge technology solutions to solve real-world business challenges, making him a key voice in discussions about the future of technology and its impact on various industries. Thank you, Philipp Klöckner, for this high-level keynote! 📺 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞? Don't worry. The entire session is 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲, and it's packed with valuable insights into the latest developments.
