About

👀Always open for new interesting tech and automation content shared via my channel. Connecting innovators & investors! Born and raised in the former coal-mining heartland & cultural melting pot of Germany, the Ruhrgebiet. Intercultural exchange has always fascinated and inspired me. In my youth football career & during my 3 years’ residency in China. LinkedIn is a great platform to discuss and exchange technical and cultural topics with the world which is just one click away. Happy to exchange ideas about #lean, #automation, (mobile) #robotics, #safety and #ergonomics with you. Especially when they are related to manufacturing, assembly or logistics challenges
