March 12, 2026 – CIOmove@Uniper in Gelsenkirchen
CIO Hans Pezold and his team will give us an inside look at Uniper’s IT transformation in challenging times – from stabilizing critical systems over implementing AI uses cases with an ROI, to enabling the company’s strategic shift. See our interview with Hans Pezold.
As part of the visit, we will tour the Scholven site and gain exclusive insights into how this site, with a huge history, is transforming into the future. Ralf Werner, CIO of OGE (formerly Ruhrgas), will join as a speaker to complement the discussion with a perspective from Germany’s energy infrastructure backbone.
