P21st Corporate Incubator
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Sustainability and climate change are shaping the times we live in and therefore our business life as well. Economic growth must not be at the expense of our planet’s limits.
How can we, as PALFINGER, organize our activities in such a way that we avoid waste, increase energy and resource efficiency, and reduce our carbon footprint?
NEW MARKET STRUCTURES
In a rapidly changing world, the existing market structures and business models are also changing. Anything-as-a-service (XaaS) and pay-per-use approaches provide and demand new flexibility, with the trend moving from product to service.
Who will our new customers be in the future, where can they be found, what is the best way to reach them and offer them suitable solutions?
MODULARIZATION
Modularization and the trend towards the modular principle are having an impact on our own manufacturing as well as on our customers’ business. Logistics chains are shifting and so are the demands for lifting solutions.
How will we deal with larger loads in the future, how can we adapt our products accordingly, in which sectors will they be used in the future and what might new solutions look like?
Urban Mining & RECYCLING
Our resources are dwindling and we need to adopt a sustainable approach. This also means reusing existing materials instead of disposing of them.
Which materials will we recycle in the future, how will they be returned to the cycle, and what (lifting) solutions are needed for this – especially in the construction industry?
ARTIFICiAL INTELLIGENCE
Advances in artificial intelligence are a major topic in innovation. The possibilities seem almost endless – and at the same time there are many unanswered questions.
When will artificial intelligence be par for the course? How can it improve our demand planning, predict service intervals and optimize maintenance cycles or support quality control?
SUCCESSFUL TOGETHER
We prefer to find the answers to all these questions together – because innovation works best in a team. That’s why we work closely with internal and external partners and are always interested in inspiration and perspectives from outside.
WE WELCOME YOUR IDEAS!
Would you like to shape the future with us? Then share your vision! Whether you are a customer, supplier, partner or do-gooder.
We look forward to your ideas! Perhaps they form the basis for new products, services or business models. We are looking for perspectives that change the way we see things. And we are on the lookout for projects that we can realize together.
This is how we lift PALFINGER and take it to the next level.
