Engineering | innovation | Worth knowing | What comes to your mind, when you think of decaf? A late evening cup, without a subsequent sleepless night? Dallmayr, Jacobs, Melitta or Lavazza? Probably, even the most enthusiastic coffee lovers wouldn't have guessed: thyssenkrupp is part of the team.

energy concepts | innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | Worth knowing | How will our water supply develop in the future? What are the driving trends of these developments? And which technologies could play a vital role in this? To answer these questions, our foresight experts look into an alternative future. The first possible scenario: a society that recycles water and grows its own vegetables.

innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | Turning CO2 into something valuable is exactly what our major Carbon2Chem project is all about. On September 20, 2018, thyssenkrupp officially started producing sustainable methanol from metallurgical gases at the Duisburg pilot plant – a green world premiere.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | innovation | trends of technology | The cloud-based predictive maintenance solution MAX is gradually finding its way into the daily work of our service technicians. Worldwide, 10 percent of the elevators we service are already connected to the MAX platform – soon it’ll be the turn of the first escalators.

Engineering | innovation | Extreme conditions below sea level make it almost impossible to perform research on the seabed. The Modifiable Underwater Mothership, an unmanned underwater vehicle, could now permanently change the way underwater research is conducted. Also affectionately called MUM, it's supposed to dive up to 5,000 meters into the depths of the ocean. Down there the underwater vehicles can help researchers enormously – in very different ways.

Corporate culture | Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | innovation | trends of technology | 18,631 kilometers lie between Christchurch in New Zealand and Essen. A trip takes at least 27 hours. It is time-consuming and certainly not always comfortable. But for „BeyondConventions“ the start-up Orbica has set off. And in the end, it wasn't just worth it for the young company.
