Our Speakers

Dr Matthias Loskyll

Dr.  Loskyll will describe several real-world AI projects which have been implemented at customer sites and in Siemens‘ own factories, The lecture will explain how AI has delivered measurable value. 

Nigel Smith

“Semiconductor development today is an expensive, highly competitive, high-risk activity; and the engineers involved are often blinkered, stubborn and selfish. But somehow the good teams find a way to overcome the challenges and create successful parts that make millions of dollars. I’ll take a look at the semiconductor development process from an insider’s point of view, and how it’s a small wonder that anything gets made at all…”

Both lectures will be in English, Q&A can be in German or English.
