#1 Futureproofing Lift Safety: Digitalization, 2G Shutdown & Industry Innovation with Shawn Gabor
In the very first episode of Lifts & Leaders — the official podcast by interlift and VFA-Interlift e.V. — we speak with Shawn Gabor, Country Sales Manager DACH & Eastern Europe at Memco by AVIRE.
Shawn shares how digitalization is transforming lift safety, why the upcoming 2G network shutdown affects more than 350,000 elevators in Germany, and what the industry must do to stay futureproof. He explains how outdated systems can be upgraded efficiently, why technician-friendly solutions matter, and how data, sensors, and connectivity will shape the next decades of vertical mobility.
We also dive into leadership, team culture, and the importance of keeping innovation aligned with real on-site needs — insights straight from someone working at the intersection of technology, safety, and international collaboration.
A must-listen for all elevator experts who want to understand the opportunities and challenges behind the industry’s digital shift.
