Dr. Philip Hartmann Email Address

Head of Digital Acceleration Bei

SCHOTT is a leading international technology group in the areas of specialty glass and glass-ceramics. The company has more than 130 years of outstanding development, materials and technology expertise and offers a broad portfolio of high-quality products and intelligent solutions.

I lead a team of digital experts who drive digital transformation in the business units as partners for innovation and emerging technologies. The team is characterized by a high degree of diversity, covering many facets and perspectives of digitization. When implementing digital solutions, an open and agile end-to-end mindset is particularly important to me. I.e., a comprehensive view from the initial idea to a quick first solution to a fully managed business application. Only, if new innovations are accepted by users and integrated into day-to-day business then added value be leveraged in the long term. A good ecosystem and a constant evaluation of new technology trends, e.g. in the areas of Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Immersive Technologies, is also essential.
