eLearning: finally implementing "Industry 4.0"

"MM Maschinenmarkt" and "University4Industry" launch cooperation on new digital training program

The Würzburg-based specialist media company Vogel Business Media is breaking new ground in digital training together with the Munich-based start-up "University4Industry" (U4I). The cooperation was launched at the Hannover Messe trade fair at the end of April 2018. The expansion of the further training offer is intended to enable small and medium-sized industrial companies in particular to apply "Industry 4.0" in their own operations.

The start-up "U4I" is a specialized provider of high-quality online courses on the currently relevant topics of Industry 4.0. For this purpose, the knowledge of the best industry experts is brought together, didactically prepared and made available on its own learning platform for the Internet, intranets and mobile devices.

The specialist medium "MM Maschinenmarkt" from Vogel Business Media offers a comprehensive range of communication services for decision-makers: from one of the leading industry magazines to comprehensive online offerings, seminars and events. The aim of the cooperation is to make the high-quality learning content produced by "U4I" available to all industrial companies and, above all, individual learners in small and medium-sized companies simply and cost-effectively via "MM Maschinenmarkt".

"With U4I, we have gained an innovative start-up as a partner to jointly provide our target groups with knowledge at any time and in various formats," says Oliver Barthel, Publisher MM Maschinenmarkt Group: "These online courses perfectly complement our existing range of seminars, webinars and events."

"With our learning offerings, we already offer large industrial companies a range of knowledge tailored to the needs of target groups, which comes from experts in the field," says "U4I" Managing Director Dr. Wolfgang Huhn: "We are pleased to make our learning content accessible to a wide range of users via the 'MM Maschinenmarkt'."

"We see a lot of questions from our readers, especially on new topics such as machine learning. In addition to our news and specialist articles, we now offer our customers the opportunity to delve deeper into important topics online, anytime and anywhere, in order to quickly understand them and be able to take action for their own company," comments Editor-in-Chief Udo Schnell.

"MM MaschinenMarkt" is the leading industry magazine from Vogel Business Media and is published with a circulation of 50,000 copies as well as specialized focus editions, special editions and trade fair newspapers. The industry magazine offers business news, management information and practical technical reports for decision-makers in production, automation and construction in the entire manufacturing industry. In addition to the specialist portal maschinenmarkt.de on the core sectors of the manufacturing industry, the specialist medium is published internationally in the entire DACH region as well as in many emerging markets, including China, Korea and Turkey, with a total annual circulation of over 4 million copies. MM celebrates its 125th anniversary in 2019.
