DEKRA GOES DIGITAL →→→ Welcome! As the chairman of the board at DEKRA, I am pleased that you have chosen to open our first exclusive digital annual report. I warmly invite you to dive into the varied world of DEKRA. There’s a lot to discover! Even in these times of the pandemic, one thing remains paramount for us: safety when working with technology. 

Kickstart

Digital

New New

Our 2020 annual report has the motto “Kickstart.” Wherever you come into contact with DEKRA, and however the coronavirus crisis has affected you, we want you to be able to hit the ground running now – on the road, at work, and at home.

How can we support you in this process? One example is with all these new digitalized services that can make your job and life safer and easier. You can read about examples from our eight business areas (Service Divisions) and six regions across the world under “Insights”. And if you want to look to the future, then there’s a lot to interest you in the interviews with our experts from the artificial intelligence [→] and cyber security [→] hubs. The future starts today.
