#123 - From Nokia to AI-IoT: Engineering the Physical World with Bernd Groß // CEO @ Cumulocity
12 Jun 2025
The physical world is becoming digital—and it requires fundamentally different technical architecture than traditional IT systems. Bernd Groß leads technical leaders through the evolution from enterprise software to industrial IoT, where real-time data from 30,000 wind turbines and millisecond-level decision-making define system requirements. As co-founder and CEO of Cumulocity, Bernd has navigated one of tech's most complex domains: connecting industrial hardware through standardized platforms. His journey from Nokia's early cloud computing initiatives to building Germany's leading IoT platform offers unique insights on technical leadership in physical-digital convergence. Technical leaders will gain valuable perspectives on: • 🏗️ Architecting speed-layer systems that handle 50TB monthly data flows while maintaining real-time responsiveness • 🔄 Managing technical debt across hundreds of industrial protocols while modernizing from monoliths to microservices • 🤖 Implementing "AI-IoT" strategies that bridge machine learning models with operational technology deployments • ⚡ Building edge-cloud hybrid architectures for regulated environments and latency-critical applications • 🛠️ Engineering platforms that scale from device management to data operationalization across industrial verticals
