Main focus

All subsectors of plant, mechanical and vehicle engineering face common challenges and must find answers to serious changes in customer behavior and customer requirements, in the shift to a CO2-neutral circular economy and sustainable energy supply in the fight against the climate crisis and resource scarcity, to demographic developments, and to the opportunities and risks of automation and digitization as well as global value chains. 

We have aligned our focus areas to these challenges and are bundling the specific know-how of the institutes for comprehensive systems expertise.
