"Being a prostep ivip member means direct access to expert knowledge, innovations across complex value chains, and a global network driving industrial digital transformation in a precompetitive environment. Our Symposium brings this value to life. It's where industry leaders connect, inspire and shape the future of digital manufacturing."

"Digitalization, AI, and data-driven development offer tremendous opportunities to accelerate development and reduce costs for complex products. The Symposium helps unlock this potential by fostering open knowledge exchange, fresh perspectives, and independent collaboration—within a strong global community of users, solution providers, and researchers. In this regard, the Symposium is unique worldwide."

"In challenging times, the Symposium provides what we need most: honest exchange beyond sales pitches. The parallel tracks allow us to dive deep into AI, PLM, and Systems Engineering while the networking sessions connect us with peers facing similar transformation challenges. This is where we find partners, not just vendors."
Thomas Kamla
Volkswagen AG, Board member prostep ivip
@LinkedIn
"In times of rapid technological change, the Symposium's neutral ground is crucial. Whether you're exhibiting or participating, you gain unfiltered insights into industry directions, benchmark your own strategies, and forge collaborations that drive innovation forward – this is valuable investment, not just event attendance."

"Two full days of concentrated expertise across five parallel tracks means we can address our entire digital transformation agenda in one place. The caliber of participants – from engineering to C-level – ensures discussions that move beyond surface level to tackle the complex challenges we all face."

"For research, the prostep ivip Symposium is where theory meets its friction with practice: here, scientific insight comes face to face with the lived reality of industry. The open, vendor-neutral setting lets us hold our findings up against those of end users and system providers directly – and it is precisely from this exchange that the questions emerge which our research grows on."
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Kreimeyer
University of Stuttgart, Board member prostep ivip

"Alongside the Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit, the prostep ivip Symposium creates tremendous value for the Asian, European, and global community. It's the essential counterpart event where East-West collaboration deepens through face-to-face dialogue, and where we build the international partnerships that drive our industry forward."
