“Execution is Key – The Future Is Now!”
Under this guiding theme, leaders, experts, and teams from across the Volkswagen Group’s international IT network gathered in Dresden for Global IT/IO 2026. The event focused on exchanging insights on strategic priorities, showcasing collective progress, and further strengthening collaboration across the Group.
At the heart of the conference was the question of how Global IT can actively shape the Group’s transformation while delivering measurable business value. One message stood out throughout the event: the future of mobility is not created by vision alone, but through consistent execution, close collaboration, and the targeted use of technological innovation.
A special focus was placed on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its role in advancing processes, products, and business models. Participants discussed how AI can be leveraged even more effectively in the future to increase efficiency, unlock new opportunities, and drive digital transformation forward in a sustainable way.
The event provided numerous opportunities to exchange experiences, ideas, and best practices. Representatives from different regions and business areas demonstrated how international collaboration accelerates innovation and supports the successful implementation of effective solutions.
One key takeaway from the event was that the challenges of the future can only be addressed together. Through technological expertise, global collaboration, and a strong focus on execution, the Volkswagen Group’s global IT network is actively shaping the digital future. Because the future does not begin tomorrow - it is being created today.
