It is an unusual setting for me to talk in front of national banks and ministries of economy or finance of foreign countries. Austria has more than nice castles but world maket leading companies. What can a country do to receive foreign investments? Therefore the Oesterreichische Nationalbank and the Austrian Ministry of Finance asked the The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) in collaboration with the Joint Vienna Institute to organized again a course for "Foreign Direct Investment Policies". Siemens was invited to talk about #Technology and #Innovation and ongoing paradigm shifts in the context of #Digitalization. The main messages of my talk: "1) The main challenges like the #TwinTransition or the European #competitiveness cannot be solved by a single company but only together in partnerships within #ecosystems. The more sub-systems along the value chain exchange data (we call this the #SeamlessDigitalThread) the more increases the customer demand not to be dependent on a single supplier (avoiding the lock-in-effect). Interoperability and open interfaces become (suddenly) a competitive advantage. The Siemens Xcelerator is the way how Siemens enables the growth and acceleration of ecosystems and helps the Siemens customers to stay competive and sustainable. 2) Digitalization explained in one word: seamless digital thread. 3) Bring together the real world and the digital world (#DigitalTwin) to get the full benefit of digitalization in the sense of what we call a #DigitalEnterprise, which enables you to holistically optimize all business relevant processes and tasks ( --> competiveness)" Wilma Mert, Lukas Comploi, Werner Schöfberger, Olga Schausberger-Mayr, Siemens Digital Industries Software, #DigitalThread
