Annual Report 2011: Institute for Innovation and Technology of the VDI/VDE-IT

As usual the current annual report of the Institute for Innovation and Technology (iit) offers an overview of last year’s activities. However, there are some alterations: For the first time the annual report is formulated under a special motto. In addition to the indicators and methods, which make innovations measurable, the authors offer profound information and examine the issue from different perspectives.

The report is available in German language only.

Enterprises in Clusters of Excellence – Innovative, International, Successful!

The advantage of networks and clusters is a topic that is very thoroughly researched and written on. But how do these successes show in practice? Are enterprises that participate actively in Clusters of Excellence more innovative, more international and more successful? The Annual Convention 2012 of the Initiative Networks of Competence Germany by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology focusses on answering these questions.

Entrepreneurs and network managers report, from their own point of view, what direct and measureable successes are and give reasons for the necessity of an active participation in networks of excellence. In what way can such successes be demonstrated to others? How is a network able to present itself with suitable measures and point out its advantages in the media age that is predominated by permanent information overload? As a result of this, there is a demand for creativity and new, target group specific marketing instruments! You will learn what turns out to be successful at the annual convention of the Initiative Networks of Competence Germany.

Additionally, the „Networks of Competence 2012“ will be honoured for their biggest success stories in their networking activities by the Parliamentary State Secretary Ernst Burgbacher at the annual convention. The prize winners represent creative and innovative approaches, and can function as role models and beacon for other networks and clusters.
