Schmidt noted the increasing role of technology and digitalization, stating, 'We transform the companies where we can unlock potential through AI and digitalization. This is a great opportunity for INDUS companies.' Supervisory Board Chairman Jurgen Abromeit called for a transformation into a high-tech industry, advocating for 'building high-tech companies out of an economic and ecological industry, using the interconnected knowledge of companies, research institutions and startups.'
