We continously raise awareness through global events, community meetings, marketing and communication elements and thereby focus on exploration and hands-on experience of disruptive technologies to make Digitalization fun, engaging, inspiring and tangible.

Digitalization at Schaeffler is a shared journey. Growing networks of internal communities encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange across teams and locations, uniting Schaeffler towards a shared digital vision: becoming a digital frontrunner in the industry. By breaking down silos through cross-organizational networking, a "learning from others" approach is embraced, enhancing knowledge sharing and best practices. With a holistic change management strategy set in place, agile working methods and proven frameworks, digital transformation is not only effective, but also inclusive and with a clear focus on human values and needs.
