Fields of action
Digital economy and production technology
For some years now, it has been impossible to imagine production technology without the link to information technologies. The digitalization of production processes has become part of everyday life for corporations and SMEs alike. Industry 4.0, the networked factory, is a particularly important driver here.
Energy and mobility
The entire energy and mobility sector is characterized by the need for intelligent emission reduction and decarbonization. Energy and resource-saving developments are at the heart of product and business model developments, market launches and process technologies. By concentrating on local renewable energy potential, the energy and mobility sectors of the economy are increasingly growing together: Be it solution approaches in drive technology, storage technology, the required infrastructure, its networking or also in the area of new materials or IT system networking.
Creative industries and multimedia
Creative impulses from the leash. Today, a lively cultural and creative scene has become one of the most important location factors in terms of retaining and attracting skilled workers. It contributes significantly to a liveable environment and a positive image of the location.
Life sciences and medical technology
The life sciences will have a decisive impact on the 21st century. They are the starting point and driver for numerous applications in drug development, the chemical industry, agriculture and environmental protection, as well as in the development of innovative medical products. The combination of biotechnology methods with information technology, materials science, microsystems technology and nanotechnology opens up new approaches to therapies and product development.
