VC/O

We at VC/O are convinced that digitization opens up many opportunities for German businesses to offer their customers better products and to conquer new markets. However, for many companies – especially the German Mittelstand – digitization is also a great challenge. How do I make my business model fit for the future? How do I restructure my organization and our team’s competencies accordingly? Which new players in the market do I have to match? Another challenge is sustainability. How can I design my processes and products to be resource-friendly and energy-efficient? Viessmann has accepted these challenges and sees them as a great opportunity. The family-owned company with more than 12.000 employees around the world is boldly pursuing its transformation from a manufacturer of heating technology to providing sustainable solutions for the entire living space. During this transformation, Viessmann has gained a great deal of experience and knowledge about how to develop innovations and to shape the future positively. As economic conditions become more and more complex and technologies develop faster and faster, even the most innovative and successful companies are continuously challenged to understand the new technological, ecological and social developments and thus to respond with future-proof solutions. To develop these solutions, we are combining Viessmann’s innovative activities with VC/O. Working both with and for our partners, we are continuously expanding our knowledge. To this end, VC/O has established extensive innovation ecosystem with Maschinenraum, wattx, Vito ONE and Vito Ventures.
