Germany is an innovation leader in resource-efficient production technology thanks to an excellent education and job training system, which is the basis of cutting-edge research and development and consequently of economic success. This is in part due to initiatives by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) such as "Promoting Innovation in Germany", which supports the marketing activities of organisations that conduct research and foster education in the field of resource-efficient production technology.

The organisations introduced on this website promote their services at trade shows, events, workshops and conferences around the world with the support of the BMBF. The goal is to make research in Germany more international and to turn the country into a global hub for the generation and implementation of new knowledge.

The following pages will give you a brief and informative profile of each of the funded networks actively involved in the field of production technologies. This is also where you can obtain information on projects in progress, on contacts and on opportunities for entering into new collaborations.
