From May 28th to 29th, 2024, a study visit to Nuremberg was held as part of the RTIT project, with IEC Tehnopolis as the lead partner. Thirteen project partners from eight countries gathered to exchange ideas on knowledge, technology, and innovation transfer, focusing on materials and material technology.
In addition to information on transfer in Bavaria, cross-clustering, and innovation strategy, hosts from Bayern Innovativ presented several projects with examples of good practices from Bavaria in the thematic area of building knowledge communities and fostering innovation, as well as a set of effective tools for RTI transfer and creative methods in idea generation workshops.
During the event, representatives from the materials and manufacturing department of Bayern Innovativ conducted an interactive workshop on innovations in the textile industry. Furthermore, another creative workshop was held on discovering design management and “From Idea to Business Model.” The hosts also shared success stories on the application of recycled materials.
The event provided an opportunity for partners to meet to summarize results, deadlines, and the internal contributions of the organizations. Partners reviewed the report on policy mapping activities and identifying gaps and opportunities.
Additionally, the next steps, roles, and responsibilities in implementing project activities were planned.
The study visit included a visit to the Institute for Chemistry, Materials, and Product Development (OHM-CMP) at the Technical University of Nuremberg Georg Simon Ohm, where participants had the opportunity to experience the production of various materials in a modern laboratory.
The project aims to support small and medium-sized enterprises in the materials sector over the next two years with the help of knowledge communities in the Danube region. This region plays a key role in material production.
The project is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Danube Transnational Programme.
