The German Chancellor, the Chairman of ABB’s Board of Directors, Peter Voser, and Sami Atiya, President of ABB’s Robotics & Discrete Automation Business Area and Member of the Executive Committee, inaugurate new extension building with its “Learning Factory Industry 4.0”

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited ABB’s training center in Berlin to mark the start of the new training year for apprentices and formally inaugurate the center’s extension building. The German Chancellor saw first-hand how ABB’s “Learning Factory Industry 4.0” in this new multifunctional building is transforming the education and training opportunities for technology companies – not only for ABB, but also for its partner companies. This year, the ABB training center in Berlin is welcoming an additional 205 apprentices in 17 different apprenticeships, who will learn the skills that will set them up for success in an Industry 4.0 world.

During his visit, the Chancellor saw the benefits of ABB’s strategy to regularly modernize its two German training centers in Heidelberg and Berlin, which ensures that every cohort of apprentices is supported by the latest technologies and equipment.

“The ABB training center is a real flagship for our globally respected dual education. The most important future investment of ABB and its partner companies is in the qualification of their skilled workers and thus in the future of their companies,” said Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

ABB’s “Learning Factory Industry 4.0” is the centerpiece of the new building, with cutting-edge training facilities that prepare trainees for the digital future of manufacturing.
