Our network has two main fields of activity: managing joint projects in materials design and process development and optimisation, and organising technical workshops and conferences. This leads to clear-cut market-oriented R&D support. Furthermore, the North Bavaria Materials Innovation Net offers a platform for involving all departments of a company - from management to R&D to the skilled engineering worker level - in finding common solutions for the daily challenges of industrial practice.
Additional services are the organisation of fair and exhibition stands and investigations on the state-of-the-art of required technologies in preparation of projects. The goal of the working teams is to develop joint, novel solutions which go beyond the materials sector.
One of these solutions - the "Qualification Concept for Plastics Process Coordinators" – was awarded a prize by Kompetenznetze Deutschland in the competition "Network of Competence 2008 – Best Network Service".
The North Bavaria Materials Innovation Net bridges the gap between industry, science, and politics. Furthermore, it acts as a cradle for novel topics in order to strengthen the innovativity of regional companies.
The large scope of choices and activities creates synergetic effects, thus offering a wide product assortment to materials-based regional companies.
