Digital Twins are evolving from isolated engineering models into sovereign, cloud-based services that enable real-time insights and innovation.

This talk explores how mid-sized machine manufacturers and plant operators (SMEs) can leverage Smart Factory and Smart Connected Product (SCP) platforms to develop value-added services - without losing control over their data or infrastructure.

We will highlight why a sovereign cloud platform is essential - not only to ensure data autonomy and compliance, but also as a foundational element for building new digital business models.
