With development tasks accompanied by verification and validation ever increasing, digital product development is the most promising way to cope. And it is also an exciting option to explore new frontiers

In this interactive event the speakers will first look at a horizon of 3-7 years from now. Model factories are certainly on this road as well as still physical validations of the models. Such a holistic R&D environment is created at IAAPS, integrated with an educational approach to prepare students for the new frontiers.

The speakers will describe ambitious commercial implementation projects where Digital Product Development is still in Motion, sometimes because companies have no retaining legacy - sometimes because they need to drop this legacy. Based on lead projects the time, budget and quality gains will be shown.

The necessary culture change needed to introduce new methods, tools, approaches to become faster, better and more affordable will be at the conclusion of the keynote.

The audience is then kindly asked to validate the presented material, to kick of a lively discussion, to present their experiences and contribute to a holistic view of the complete community meeting at OPEN PDiM.
