Speaker: Lasse Nowack, Chief Engineer - Vestas
As businesses face growing pressure to meet ambitious sustainability goals, digital transformation is no longer just a productivity driver—it’s a decarbonization enabler. This session explores how cutting-edge technologies such as AI, digital twins, and advanced analytics are helping Vestas reduce emissions, optimise resource use, and build more transparent, efficient operations.
Through real-world examples and practical insights, we’ll examine how digital tools are accelerating the path to net zero, creating smarter, greener supply chains and unlocking long-term value for both the planet and the business.

Generating real-time digital simulations of end-to-end business processes is no longer a utopia. The Industrial Metaverse enables companies to utilize digital twins for better product development, factory and production planning, logistics simulations, infrastructure optimization, and more.
The integration of existing systems and data into a coherent platform breaks down data silos. It enables new virtual collaboration possibilities, AI utilization, and thus automation, creates transparency in the supply chain, and offers the ability to provide new innovative customer experiences. The virtualization of business processes also reduces energy and material usage, which leads to reduced carbon footprint.
In this section, we deep dive into what the Industrial Metaverse is, how it works, and the linkage to sustainability and how it drives value for your business.
You can look forward to learning more from an exciting and innovative use case from BMW. Additionally, we will elucidate how to get started with and operationalize the Industrial Metaverse.
