Joint Keynote Highlights Pioneering Capabilities of "All-in-One" Low-Code Platform Speaking directly from Mendix's European headquarters in Rotterdam, against a backdrop of the dramatic Erasmus Bridge over the river Maas, Derek Roos, Mendix CEO, and Johan den Haan, CTO, kicked off the proceedings with a joint keynote session. After highlighting Mendix's phenomenal business momentum leading up to Mendix World 2.0, Roos and den Haan highlighted a score of platform enhancements, sharing videos by enterprise customers who are currently leveraging new Mendix capabilities. Roos introduced the new "all-in-one" low-code platform, which applies the core low-code principles of abstraction and automation to the adjacent domains of data, artificial intelligence, and multiexperience applications. He also introduced a major initiative to create an expanded Platform Economy for the larger Mendix ecosystem. Roos said: "We are on a mission to empower makers to create the best products, removing complexity from application development so that everyone can bring their best ideas to completion. Globally, organizations are facing a range of issues that, overnight, became urgent. Navigating the new landscape of how and where work is done — remotely, with highly personalized systems, and customized ability to converse with systems —is a complex challenge. We believe low-code is the way to remove barriers to create world-class digital products and experiences." Den Haan offered the first, close-up look and hands-on demonstrations of the powerful capabilities of Mendix 9, including:
Addressing the keynote' theme of "develop once, run anywhere," Rainer Brehm, CEO, Siemens Factory Automation, joined den Haan from the island of Crete to introduce Mendix for Industrial Edge. "This software will enable operational domain experts to write and modify their own solutions to achieve powerful business solutions without delay," said Brehm. Den Haan added, "The low-code approach of radical abstraction and automation is becoming accepted by the mainstream. That's because a rapid, collaborative approach is necessary to keep up with the speed of innovation. When new bottlenecks arise, such as data integration needs or process automation, we apply low-code tooling to pull these adjacent areas together in an integrated experience for users and developers. That's why we call Mendix 9 the "all-in-one" low-code platform."
