The “Digitalization & Information Services†division aims to accelerate the digital transformation at BASF and Christoph Wegner is the new Chief Digital Officer at BASF.
The division is headed by Christoph Wegner (49), who will also serve as Chief Digital Officer (CDO) at BASF. Wegner explained that, “Over the last few years, we have shown how to implement digitalization in a chemical company.†“Now, the new organization will help lend more assertiveness to the topic. We will support the digital activities at BASF and drive them forward more quickly than before in collaboration with the colleagues from the different business units, functions and research and development units. We are pursuing a clear goal with this approach: We want to introduce new digital solutions which provide our customers with clear added value.â€
