EVENTS

The first Performance Summit took place in Bielefeld on 15 May 2025. It was a summit for entrepreneurs ready to act — not just talk. Leading business minds came together to develop strategies and share solutions to drive growth, resilience and competitiveness in an ever-changing world. Ready to perform.

The Cost & Value Engineering Conference 2025, hosted by ZF Group and the BME, brings together decision-makers from procurement, engineering and operations to explore proven ways of reducing costs, increasing efficiency through AI, and driving innovation with suppliers. In presentations, case studies and a trade exhibition, participants will discover how to optimise components with data, calculate prices intelligently, and reduce their CO₂ footprint — all at once. Valuedesk joins as an official BME partner for the first time — and will be live on site with insights, software demos and use cases from industry leaders.

Are you tired of stewing in your own juice? Do you want to think outside the box and exchange ideas with other developers? Then “Dev Connect OWL” is the right place for you. After a successful start last year, our regional developer conference is entering its second round!
