A day full of valuable impulses, expertise and exchange
The Product Safety, RAPEX and Cybersecurity symposium took place in Frankfurt on March 26, 2025 – and it proved to be an outstanding industry event with consistently positive feedback.
At a time when product safety, risk assessments and cybersecurity are increasingly taking center stage, the event provided exactly the practical input that specialists and managers from the fields of development, quality management, legal and compliance need.
A versatile program with high practical relevance
Our speakers provided in-depth insights into key product safety topics and gave participants valuable tools for everyday use:
- Ralf Rathmacher (Conti Engineering Service) opened the symposium with his presentation on quantitative error analysis and the derivation of target values for complex systems.
- Veeresh Ravichand Hebbale (Conti Engineering Service) gave a practical demonstration of how platform TARA can be used to make cybersecurity efficient and targeted.
- Mark Haacke (Mark Haacke Automotive GmbH) highlighted the implementation of SAGA risk assessments (formerly RAPEX) using concrete examples from practice.
- Benedikt Stücker (Luther law firm) addressed the new features of the Product Liability Directive and explained the resulting requirements for companies.
- Thomas Fricke rounded off the symposium with his expert presentation on Customer Specific Requirements (CSRs) and highlighted their importance as a concretization of the industry standards (IATF 16949 & ISO 9001).
Open exchange and appreciative networking
Participants were particularly positive about the combination of topics, the high practical relevance of the speakers and the opportunity to talk directly to the experts.
The relaxed atmosphere in the modern location in Frankfurt, the all-day catering and the collegial exchange made for an all-round successful supporting program.

What the participants said
I was able to attend the symposium in March 2025 as a participant and had a thoroughly positive impression of the event. The conference was very well structured, exciting presentations, inspiring discussions with the participants and excellent catering all contributed to a really successful day. I was able to return home with many new impressions, contacts and approaches for my day-to-day work. Thank you very much for this and hopefully there will be another one soon!

The symposium was a clear recommendation in terms of both content and organization. Current topics were presented in detail but very well prepared in a relaxed setting. The limited number of participants enabled an intensive and personal exchange with experts from the industry. The cozy location and the great catering rounded off the day perfectly. I am already looking forward to the next symposium!
Marvin Müller – PEM Motion – Senior Project Engineer | Expert Validation
The symposium was a great enrichment for me. Especially as the person responsible for setting up the Product Compliance department in a growing company, the direct exchange with other experts about common challenges is indispensable. The presentations on topics such as product safety and risk assessment were technically sound and at the same time always relevant to practice. I was able to take away a wealth of concrete ideas and approaches for our internal processes. I am already looking forward to the sequel!
