As PLM continues its evolution as a critical enterprise business solution, this event focuses on the strategies, tools, and best practices needed to advance digital transformation and drive product lifecycle digitalization forward."

"A Digital Transformation is or should be an indispensable component of any business transformation, and modern PLM is key to such transformation in any organization that touches product data, says Håkan Kårdén, a Strategic Advisor and part of the PDT Europe organizing team since 2004.

"Successful Digital Transformation requires vision as well as execution. While the vision serves as a beacon and is always challenging to nail, the trickiest part, in many ways, is the execution. There are so many options available, and as much as we love it, technology has the drawback of becoming outdated well before real business benefits have been delivered. For PLM Road Map and PDT Europe 2025, we are looking to leadership and organizations that have successfully taken on the grand challenge to transform business digitally in a way that adds to the bottom line and corporate value. This includes much more than just the technology. With this must-attend event in Europe, we will address the bigger picture of what must be included to reach a successful digital transformation—elevation of PLM to an Enterprise Business Solution," ends Håkan Kårdén.
