Continuation and expansion of the established network from the Strategy Dialogue for the Automotive Industry in Niedersachsen.

In order to pave the way for new products and markets for companies, there is a need for a custom-fit knowledge and technology transfer, building on the technology content expertise (think tank) of the Innovationszentrum Niedersachsen GmbH. This expertise can easily be accessed by all companies across the state of Niedersachsen without any fees. For this purpose, annual events, regional events with local partners, working groups, workshop discussions in online or face-to-face formats are offered, among other things.
