The Initiative Networks of Competence Germany by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) brings together the most innovative and capable national networks of competence with technological orientation. These networks characteristically stand out for their high level of activity and cooperation. They share commonly formulated goals, are regionally anchored, and excel both in minimizing distance to markets and industry, and in their dynamics and flexibility.
The concept of the Initiative Networks of Competence Germany by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology is to be the “League of the best innovation networks” in Germany. Membership to the initiative is a quality label only for the best networks.
The icon of the Initiative Kompetenznetze Deutschland is an important part of the marketing concept.
For realisation of the conception of the Initiative it is co-operating with other actors and activities in the innovation policy. The aim of those partnerships is the use of synergetic effects of both sides.
The independent advisory council assigned by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) consists of well-known representatives of science and economy from the Networks of Competence-community.
