On the eve of this major event in sports calendar of 2018, ‘RADIOFRONT‘ met at the German Embassy in Moscow a unique football player and personality. A native Достижения индустрии 4.0: глобальные аспекты of Sao Paulo, Claudemir Jerônimo Barreto, better known Industry Achievements 4.0: Global Aspects as Cacau, is the Integration Commissioner of the Ger- man Football Association (Intergationsbeauftragter des Deutschen Fußball-Bundes). The brilliant striker, German champion-2007 with VfB , who played after nat- uralization 23 matches for the German national team, is now responsible for the solution of various problems for- eign players are facing in German soccer clubs. In this regard, it seems to me that integration is one of the key words describing precisely and without aggression the clever answer to many challenges of our turbulent and technically progressive age. Without Промышленный интернет по-немецки any doubt, effective integration of the digital economy German Industrial Internet achievements into everyday life is no less important than the comprehensive and effective entry of any per- son into the innovative living environment. And no less important than even soccer. By the way, Claudemir Jerônimo Barreto, dubbed by enthusiastic fans Helmut, is known as one of the fastest scorers in the history of world cups. Going into the substitute in the opening match of the World Cup- 2010 in South Africa, he scored already in the 110th second!

The German-Russian Chamber of Commerce with about 800 member companies represents the interests of German enterprises in Russia and supports Russian companies in connection with their cooperation with German counterparts both in Russia and Germany. The Chamber is entrusted with the task of promoting the development of bilateral economic relations between Russia and Germany. Branches of the German- Russian Chamber of Commerce operate in Moscow and St.Petersburg. In Russian regions, the Chamber is represented by regional commissioners. Since April 1, 2016 Matthias Schepp is Chairman of the Board of the German-Russian Chamber of Commerce.

The interruption of power supply is a source of concern to the consumer and gives rise to the need to provide emergency connectors power source in some important areas of both domestic and industrial application. This has led to the design and construction of innovative types of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units.
