![]() ![]() ![]() The transfer of knowledge from research provides companies with fresh know-how that they can incorporate directly into their internal processes. ![]() By combining their respective strengths and competencies, the partners conduct more effective experiments. In the Open Transfer study conducted by the Centre for Responsible Research and Innovation of the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering and Organisation, cooperative projects between commercial enterprises and research organisations are described as new innovation ecosystems oriented towards dynamic and co-productive interaction models. But what advantages do such partnerships offer? New innovation ecosystems In the course of numerous cooperative projects, players from industry and research jointly try to keep up with the increasing pace of innovation. This is the finding of the Forschung und Entwicklung in der Wirtschaft 2017 (R&D in Industry 2017) study conducted by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Donors’ Association for the Promotion of Humanities and Sciences in Germany) on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and published in May 2019. What makes such cooperative projects special is that if they end up being successful the participants can claim to be engaging in thought leadership.Ĭompanies in Germany are aware that research and development are the basis for innovations of all kinds and have therefore made record-breaking investments: 69 billion euros in 2017 alone. Projects such as DigiKAM (digital collaboration network for the development of additive manufacturing), in which the Fraunhofer Institute as well as warehouse and logistics expert Remmert are among those involved, function as innovative ecosystems that thrive on synergies. A mechanical and plant engineering project is currently focusing on the future-oriented topic of additive manufacturing. In doing so, they invest in new approaches to come up with more efficient and sometimes even completely new operational processes. Companies are constantly looking for innovations to ensure their competitiveness. ![]()
