innos is associated partner for SMEs as part of the European initiative "Manufacturing NextMaterials"
At the beginning of this year, "Manufacturing NextMaterials" was launched, a European project that supports small and medium-sized companies in bringing prototypes into test production.
The aim is to provide around 120 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the necessary skills to close the gap between prototype and market, as state support usually ends at this stage.
The initiator and lead partner, Oost NL, is working with several German and Dutch partners, including other core partners and knowledge institutions, on this project over a period of four years. Together, they are creating cross-border facilities for test production of composite materials, advanced battery production, and support for 3D printing. This will allow companies to benefit from a wide range of expertise in technical and business areas.
We at innos are proud to be an associated partner in this ambitious cross-border project.
If you are a Lower Saxony SME from the German-Dutch border region and would like to participate in the project, please reach out to Dr. Andreas Baar at our office in Goettingen.
