Innovative collective research // The FVV brings together ideas from industry in pre-competitive research projects to develop application-oriented engineering solutions.
Brief summary of the contents
Good idea!
How does industrial research need turn into shared knowledge? In an interview, Max Decker explains how industry-led Collective Research, open to all technologies and topics, harnesses the strength of the network to produce practical engineering solutions.
Keynotes
How can we achieve carbon-neutral energy systems and their cost-effective transformation? The plenary sessions of the last two FVV Transfer + Networking Events highlight hydrogen in the technology mix and the decarbonisation of the chemical industry – with a focus on technology, infrastructure and economic viability.
Shapers of the Future
Four remarkable individuals demonstrate how a passion for technology and the spirit of inventiveness drive innovation forward. Their profiles range from fuel cell technology and materials affected by hydrogen to a wide variety of powertrain systems and joints for electric drives.
