Data Act: The EU revolutionizes the data market – what you need to know!
With the Data Act, the EU will create a legal framework for the simplified access, exchange, use and protection of data in the EU internal market from 2025. The regulations have far-reaching implications for the handling of product and service data from “connected products” and “connected services”. In this German whitepaper, ITK Engineering and the law firm SKW Schwarz summarize who is affected by the Data Act, what needs to be done and what timeframe needs to be considered.

Contrary to what many believe, this is not about cosmetics, about creating beautiful interfaces or sleek contemporary designs. It is about focusing on the core question: How do I build the product that it serves its purpose effectively and efficiently, yet still inspires and delights? Learn in our whitepaper what activities you should consider in the human-centered development process and how to engage real users right from the start.
RUST – the next evolution in embedded software development
Not only the software complexity but also the validation processes become more complex. New solutions are needed to achieve efficiency as well as the necessary quality. One possible answer to this can be the use of a programming language like Rust. Learn in our whitepaper why Rust has the great potential to become the language of modern software development.
Master the energy transition with digital fleet management
With the energy transition and the requirements for saving CO2 and controlling air pollution, electromobility is becoming increasingly established.
