"Sensors and measurement technology are key technologies for the major challenges of our time, whether artificial intelligence, climate-neutral cities, networked mobility or smart industrial processes. They provide the crucial data, create technological foundations and thus directly strengthen the future viability of Germany as an industrial location. With the combined expertise of our members, we are a reliable partner for industry, science and politics," explained Peter Krause.
