Technology Roadmaps & Studies
Roadmap for corporate strategy
The goal is in sight - but the path is unclear and difficult, and every decision bears risks. The case is the same for all companies seeking to tap into new technologies or markets. Now, sherpas with experience and advice are needed: Our studies serve as guideposts, roadmaps present a vision of the industry's future, serve as investment guidelines and promote pre-competitive collaboration.
Topics range from Industry 4.0 and mobility all the way to new forms of energy and organic electronics.

International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaics (ITRPV) 16th Edition. Record year 2024: 703 GW PV module shipment. TOPCon-Technology overcomes PERC dominance. Release of new interactive digital ITRPV product.
PV Pilot Project: Competitiveness of European/German Photovoltaic Equipment Manufacturers
VDMA Services GmbH study on European and German manufacturers of solar production equipment and side event on May 6 at Intersolar Europe 2025.
The 16th edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaics (ITRPV) and the presentation of the Roadmap's new exclusive digital product at the side event on May 8, 2025 at Intersolar Europe 2025.
Energy efficiency measures in refrigeration technology help to achieve climate protection and economic efficiency targets. The Fachverband Allgemeine Lufttechnik therefore called together experts on the subject.
The questionnaire for the 15th edition of the ITRPV is online. We look forward to your input until December 22, 2023.
In an online seminar on April 29, 2021 VDMA presented the new edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic.
A strong trend towards larger wafers and also larger modules can be observed. The further developments of high-efficiency technologies result in a higher market share with simultaneous cost reduction of the end product.
Comprehensive work with shared future perspectives based on the work of more than 100 international experts, defining the state of the art in organic and printed electronics.
Roadmapping is a strategic innovation management tool. It paves the way to a vision of the future, helps to identify research needs and can be used as an investment guideline.
Risk management is not new - it has been around for about 140 years in finance and accounting. Initially as principles of the honourable businessman, more recently as indispensable precautions to secure the existence of the company in all areas.
Risk management is a large field. However, it is possible to exchange experience on this topic in a way that is clean from an antitrust point of view. In VDMA committees, members talk about systematic procedures
In every company, risk management is practiced on a daily basis: Sometimes systematically, sometimes less. Paying attention to risks is actually daily business. But it can only be comprehensively effective if it is systematic, coordinated and communicated.
Increase the company's profitability by acting quickly in a crisis. This task occupies many companies and unfortunately there is no blueprint. We have therefore collected some successful examples and analysed and documented the approach.
What do we mean by risks and what does a risk management system suitable for my company look like?
The consolidation of future wafer sizes is visible. The discussion of the technology maturity level was implemented in the ITRPV. The throughputs play an essential role in cost reduction.
The International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaics is compiled and regularly updated by leading companies and research institutes. The aim is to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
