On August 26, 2024, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the MARK 51°7 site to get a firsthand look at the successful transformation taking place in the Ruhr region.
During his tour of the ZESS research building—the Center for the Engineering of Smart Product-Service Systems—Prof. Dr. Uta Wilkens introduced our HUMAINE competence center to the Chancellor and explained how AI can improve the quality of work and the crucial role that proper work design plays in this process.

A big thank you goes to the Ruhr Regional Association for organizing this important visit. The discussion has once again shown just how crucial our joint efforts are to a successful transformation and to shaping the future of work. 🚀
