In episode 20 of the podcast (@AugmentedPod), the topic is: The Digitalization of Körber. Our guest is Daniel Szabo, CEO of Körber Digital.

In this conversation, we talk about Transforming a German industrial company through digital acquisitions and spinouts. Körber went from mechanical engineering company, to diversified manufacturer through the 1990s, to an international technology group over the past five years, with a digital arm focusing on venture building, building digital solutions and digital enablement. We discuss building new businesses that leverage "unfair advantage", accessing customers to co-develop scale commercially. Where is European industry heading? How to combine agility and scale?

Trond's takeaway: Körber's journey is still quite unique and also about to become typical, at least of manufacturing or engineering companies that want to survive. Embracing deep digitalization is a smart choice, but not the easiest feat to accomplish."
