Summary

The Virtual Dimension Center (VDC, www.vdc-fellbach.de) is Germany's leading network for Virtual Engineering and Virtual Reality. Since 2002 the VDC creates synergies between the network members and supports technology transfer.


Approximately 100 members and partners - among them research institutions, technology suppliers, service providers, users and multipliers - are cooperating in the topics of simulation, visualisation, product lifecycle management (PLM), computer aided engineering (CAE) and virtual reality (VR) along the entire virtual engineering value chain. Hence the cluster members benefit from a higher innovation activity and productivity due to information and cost advantages compared to companies outside the network. This competitive advantages are a result of transparent competences, raised information flow and easier business contacts.


The services of the VDC include:
- information search and processing
- marketing and dissemination
- match making on national and international level
- technology transfer
- funding management


The VDC organizes each year many workshops, match making events and congresses like the Virtual Efficiency Congress (VEC, www.virtual-efficiency.de), Germany's biggest Virtual Reality congress.
