Moving into a new world of work - recognizing opportunities and shaping solutions

Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO

Dear Sir or Madam,

anywhere, any time – whether it's the digital twin of an exhibition or the uncomplicated and grid-compatible charging of electric vehicles. The focus of our research is always on how we can make applications and new technologies as accessible and transparent as possible.

With the Baden-Württemberg house at the Expo site in Dubai, people all over the world get the opportunity for a virtual visit of the building as well as to interact directly with the exhibits. Our Institute Director Prof. Wilhelm Bauer says: “The transformation into a hybrid world between the real and the virtual is an opportunity to completely rethink tomorrow’s world of work, experiences and culture – to merge those worlds together. We want to reflect this area of research in the pavilion and create new applications for virtual and even augmented reality.”

Let’s take chances to shape a sustainable future together!

Kind regards

Dr. Stephan Wilhelm
Head of Marketing and Communication
