Research & industry transfer

Research & industry transfer

The IPEM Chair at the University of Siegen sees itself as a reliable and competent partner and service provider for the manufacturing industry with the aim of driving forward the digital transformation in South Westphalia and beyond. To this end, we offer you the opportunity to collaborate directly in individual planning and consulting projects as well as in publicly funded research projects. We contribute our expertise in a targeted manner to the joint development of solutions. To ensure that the manufacturing industry can also regularly participate in the latest research developments, there is also the opportunity to actively participate in one of our working groups. The Best Practice Circle Production and the Innovation Circle: Digital Business Models create a platform for intensive exchange, content-related impulses, the discussion of selected issues and the network for further cooperation. We also offer a wide range of training courses to prepare you and your employees for the challenges of tomorrow.
