Not only should all parts of this kind be manufactured on a material- and weight-optimised basis, they also have to be able to withstand strong and fluctuating loads over long periods of time and must also fulfil their respective function securely. This requires the reliable status monitoring of the materials at the highly stressed locations.

“The industrial regions of Germany can only remain competitive over the long term, however, if their considerable potential in basic research and applied research is combined together more closely. In this respect, it is especially important to establish regional research and cooperation networks between the fields of basic research, application-oriented research and industrial development.

Material scientists from Saxony-Anhalt and beyond are developing innovative materials with fascinating characteristics.

This is something that very few companies can do, and it is an area in which we work on an exceptionally cost-effective basis.

We want to show that Saxony-Anhalt’s well-networked plastics industry has the expertise to produce new highly efficient polymer-based materials in resource-friendly and energy-efficient production processes, in times of dwindling fossil resources and growing demands on environmental and climate protection.

The aim of the research and development project is to close the gap between digital engineering and digital construction.

The dry electrodes provide data of a high quality, even without gel or paste.

Especially in the field of medical technology, Saxony-Anhalt provides integration opportunities in the regional value-added chain due to the close networking of companies among each other, but also with research institutes, universities and industry networks.

Our scaffolds are used in the field of regenerative medicine. They are suitable for cell therapy, for use as bone filler material, for bone formation in dental medicine, as a tissue substitute and in the treatment of chronic wounds.

When you use the phrase ‘focusing on the small things’, we mean much, much smaller.

The aim of the ‘inostation’ is to prevent muscle atrophy in seriously ill patients.

To find out where in the production processes the same result can be achieved with less energy, or – even better – more output can be produced with the same energy consumption, it is necessary to take a closer look and make more sophisticated changes.

Companies and research institutions are traditionally very closely networked here in Saxony-Anhalt, right along the value chain.

For our company, internationalisation means new markets and increasing our market presence.

Over the past 50 years, a lot has changed, but the basic principles of engineering have remained the same. We are rising to the challenge of developing new innovations.

The chemical park is 232 hectares in size, which is equivalent to 300 football fields. It is home to 50 companies, 35 of which are service providers, ten of which are production operations, and five of which are energy producers.

As far as Shell, or to put it more precisely their subsidiary CRI/Criterion Catalysts were concerned, we proved to be a perfect match for their business portfolio.

It is in Saxony-Anhalt that we are developing the American and international markets.

Schkopau is situated in the heart of central Germany, a region which is home to a huge amount of specialist expertise in the field of synthetic rubber technology. The first industrial scale, global production of synthetic rubber started here some 80 years ago.

In 2015, chemicals businesses invested some 270 million Euros in facilities, land and equipment in Saxony-Anhalt.

The quick availability of affordable space, the speed of project completions but also the availability of more and more free capacities in secure computer centres and our closely networked, rapidly growing IT services industry as well as Saxony-Anhalt’s superb location in the middle of Germany and centre of Europe along with the ultra-modern infrastructure are convincing arguments that will impress in London.

The secret of Pure is the extremely large surface area of the fine fibres down to the nano level. One gram of Pure has a surface area of three square metres.

Scientists on a worldwide competitive top level support us significantly in the development of innovative, highly complex and specific proteins for researching pharmaceuticals and diagnostics companies.

We have the power here, we convert it into hydrogen, and then we can supply our chemical chain directly and no longer need to purchase petroleum and natural gas from remote regions. And we are sustainable, as the power is acquired from renewable sources.

The most important is what we can deduce from the customer’s order data and the context of the order in relation to the company’s logistics concept.

With major developmental projects we accordingly fall back on the support of universities, associated institutes, the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation (IFF) and other institutes, because we do not have the manpower for this purpose, and naturally with developmental components with which we do not have the necessary know-how, because it is not part of our core competence.

Despite all of the production planning that we manage, since we are a family business, we are also able to respond on a flexible basis. That is what distinguishes us from our competitors.

When charging and discharging our battery systems, almost no energy is lost, as the energy flow doesn’t flow from cell to cell, but each cell is controlled directly by the system.

With particularly heavy components or parts that are long and wide, however, the ship is the transport method of choice.

We want to focus on the manufacturing of drilling equipment for well construction, and in the future, we also want to focus on the use of geothermal heat/geothermal energy.

With our Telemedical Acute Stroke Care, or TASC, we have been able to ensure that patients who suffer a stroke receive the medicine they need as quickly as possible in the immediate aftermath – so that they benefit from significantly improved chances of recovery.

Working together with our researchers and partners from the world of industry, with the use of augmentation, I believe that we can make a major contribution to making production processes safer, simpler, more flexible and more effective.

By linking up with the existing QR code technology, we have developed a solution which drastically reduces the amount of work required to create individual augmented reality content.

The potential of our region in the field of ICT is growing all the time. Our expertise in this area will enable us to forge ahead with the process of digitalisation in Saxony-Anhalt and handle the tasks and the work of the future.

We offer a highly secure cloud storage service for decentralised teams.

Networking is very easy and purposive here.

We have identified herbs that have a positive effect upon the gastrointestinal tract, have tested their aroma and flavour and narrowed them down.

nutriCARD is thus something new for the research landscape in Central Germany. Various individual competences of the sites are bundled in this cluster and used synergistically.

We were the first manufacturers to successfully use Stevia, i.e. ‘sweetleaf’, as a natural sweetener in our juice drinks instead of sugar.

This is quite simply because we began working in this area much earlier than other universities.

We are no longer just producing products from Chlorella vulgaris, but from up to 14 different microalgae species.

We try to respond to our customers’ requirements surrounding the metal powder with regards to solidity, hardness and corrosion resistance, etc., and want to convince with individual solutions.

Chocolate manufacturers can no longer do without us.

The measuring stations on our CSP roof are comparable with the identical ones in Morocco.

It is around one third cheaper than purchasing the systems for the vacuum technology, and the continuous production process requires less energy. This saves us costs and leads to lower CO2 emissions.

In Europe alone, the market potential is currently estimated to be around 180 gigawatt peak. The area of business remains relatively undeveloped.

We want to breathe new life into the Tangermünde chemical works.
