Bonding of Thuringian research and Thuringian economy

The aim of our research is always to focus on specific industrial needs and find solutions to real challenges. To this end, we network with companies from a wide range of industries to learn about their ideas, difficulties, plans, and questions and to provide answers.

Yesterday, thanks to the Forschungs- und Technologieverbund Thüringen e.V. (Thuringia Research and Technology Association) and the ERFURTER KREUZ e.V. initiative, we welcomed several Erfurt-based companies to the ifw Jena who wanted to learn about the business-oriented research institutes in Jena and the opportunities they offer.

In short presentations, lab tours, and hands-on exercises, our guests were able to find out which innovative processes are being developed, optimized, and made fit for industrial applications in Thuringia.

All guests had the opportunity to try out laser beam welding on two systems themselves and show who could produce the best weld seam with the arc on the VR welding simulator.

We were very pleased about the visit and the exciting discussions.
