The Nordic Model Based Enterprise Forum 2025 opens with a welcome address by Miroslaw Chamera, CEO of Ariadne Engineering AB and initiator of the forum. In this session, Miroslaw will introduce the vision behind the event, outline the goals of the two-day program, and set the tone for what promises to be an inspiring, practical, and forward-looking exploration of Model Based Enterprise (MBE) and Model Based Definition (MBD). The opening remarks will highlight the growing importance of MBD in today’s manufacturing and product development landscapes — from digital collaboration and data integrity to enterprise integration and operational efficiency. Attendees will gain context for the topics to come, an overview of the speaker lineup, and insight into why this forum was created to serve as a meeting ground for engineers, innovators, and decision-makers across the Nordic region and beyond. This introduction is not only a kickoff — it’s a call to action for those looking to modernize their processes, connect with like-minded professionals, and lead their organizations into the future of digital product realization.
