The precursor project of the Digital Champions Network from 2016 to 2019
As part of the Enterprise 4.0 project, leading companies worked with selected universities and technical colleges on concrete case studies on “Industry 4.0” and thus used the “Austrian Way of Digital Success”. The triangle of digitization – internationalization – entrepreneurship was addressed in order to gain an overview of overall business aspects beyond the purely technical level.
