In focus: The topics of VDMA Fluid Power
The Fluid Power Research Fund takes up industry-related topics in the pre-competitive area and carries them out with research centers and industry project-accompanying working committees.
The Research Association for Intralogistics (IFL) promotes the future viability of the industry with pre-competitive research. The Executive Board and Scientific Advisory Board have now set the course for new projects.
The mechanical and plant engineering industry has continued to increase its spending on innovation even in difficult economic times. There is now a need to strengthen instruments such as research allowances and joint industrial research.
Research, innovation and future topics from a single source. We pool expertise, network players and support the mechanical and plant engineering industry with the right experts for strategic and technological issues.
The majority of German machinery and equipment manufacturing research is conducted in Germany. Companies are keeping their research budgets high. However, there are threatening dependencies in key technologies.
In our theme publication you will find facts and figures on research and development, innovations and patents in machinery and equipment manufacturing.
The mechanical and plant engineering sector is investing billions in research and development - and is thus consistently focusing on innovation and new technologies.
The Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau e.V. (FKM) bundles and coordinates pre-competitive research for mechanical and plant engineering.
VDMA bundles its activities in the area of "Research and Innovation" and establishes a new joint office. Research and innovation processes can thus be further optimized. Dr. Eric Maiser and Martin Nitsche take over from Dietmar Goericke.
The Industrial Cooperative Research (IGF) represents a unique innovation platform for small and medium-sized enterprises. As an open-topic and industry-driven programme, the IGF is an important building block in pre-competitive research for mechanical and plant engineering.
