At the beginning of the year, our cross-industry networking event provided experts from the industry and the automotive aftermarket on January 24 with the opportunity to stay informed about the latest insights and trends in Digital Commerce, both at Saarbrücker Schloss and online.
One workshop, two showcases, four discussion rounds, and twelve presentations – that’s the summary of DIGITAL COMMERCE SUMMIT automotive & industry 2023. Under the theme “Knowing Today What Matters in B2B E-Commerce Tomorrow,” this cross-group format entered its third round with a new name. Throughout the day, it captivated around 100 attendees on-site and nearly 150 viewers in the livestream.

The changing needs of customers and the rapid development of new technologies pose challenging demands on companies in nearly every industry. At the same time, these developments open up new opportunities for shaping innovative distribution channels.
But what is the actual significance of Digital Commerce, both today and in the future? What strategic approaches enable us to keep up in the ongoing digitalization race? Our speakers addressed these and other questions in their presentations.
Despite participants’ different challenges and approaches to solutions, the central realization remained the same: To remain competitive within our digitally interconnected society, companies – from industry to the automotive aftermarket – should not only place the customer at the center of their digital sales strategy. They should also recognize that, above all, the customer is a human with individual needs. When Customer Centricity becomes Human Centricity, holistic innovation becomes possible without obstacles.
