Companies that want to remain competitive need good ideas. But only about half of the small- and medium-sized companies in Germany have their own research department. TechnologyMountains shows how developments can be pushed forward in a network. The association initiates cross-industry cooperation between partners from electrical engineering, machine building, medical technology, and the automotive industry. Innovation forums, for example, bring the companies to one table with science experts. Together they explore the opportunities of new technology trends and develop concepts for forward-looking products and methods.
