Initiators
Invention Center
The Invention Center on the RWTH Aachen campus is where participating companies can obtain further qualifications in the field of technology and innovation management along with optimum solutions to any challenges which arise. In collaboration with the TIME Research Area, the Fraunhofer IPT, the WZL of the RWTH Aachen University and the KEX Knowledge Exchange AG, a »World of Experience« is designed, which provides planners and decision-makers in industry with the opportunity to experience the entire process from the initial development idea through to the manufacture of products suitable for mass production. The underlying concept is fine-tuned carefully to match the projects, capabilities and interests of companies involved.
