The Mission IV: WORK is an innovation project aiming to shape the how, where and with whom we work in a sustainable and future-oriented way.
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the way we work and proved us that there is a room for improvement. The way we as a society handled the situation has proven us that we have the ability to adapt to new circumstances and find solutions for the most pressing issues.
Join this project to innovate together with Schaeffler, Futury and many other partners that will join this Mission
As the main partner, Schaeffler – is one of the leading German suppliers to the automotive and mechanical engineering industries.
With over 85,000 employees worldwide, the topic of “The Future of Work” plays a significant role for the company.
