Abstract
This chapter briefly introduces the relevant definitions on digital transformation and the main technological background as essence of digital transformation. The core of digital transformation is the confluence of at least four essential technologies: Cloud Computing, Big Data, the Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence. Through Cloud Computing, a new generation of Artificial Intelligence is being applied in an increasing number of applications with stunning results. Beside this the Internet of Things connects devices in value chains across industry and infrastructure and generating terabytes of data every day, which result in the Big Data paradigm. The digital transformation of the mentioned technological wave will also have a huge impact on the circular economy, a new paradigm in today’s public and private discussion to reduce the greenhouse effect. Last but not least cybersecurity becomes the most relevant issue making all previous mentioned efforts cyber secure.
