Know-how transfer is close to our hearts. That is why we provide companies and public institutions with access to know-how and research results from science. In events that we hold ourselves or in which we participate, we provide insight into the current results of our research projects.

Design Think­ing Pro­jects with In­dustry

Creative and fast to customer-oriented solutions: Prof. Dr. Klaus Lang and Prof. Dr. Daniel Schallmo regularly conduct design thinking projects together with industry partners and student teams from interdisciplinary degree programs. Design thinking enables customer- and user-centered prototypes to be developed and tested within a few days. Digitalization, the networking of smart devices and the development of artificial intelligence offer many possible applications for design thinking. The new Design Thinking Lab at Neu-Ulm University bundles expertise in the agile innovation method. Teaching, transfer and research are the focus here.


Trans­fer pro­jects with Cluster Nutzfahrzeuge Schwaben (CNS) e.V.

Prof. Manfred A. Plechaty is head of the Digital Transformation working group of Cluster Nutzfahrzeuge Schwaben (CNS) e.V. Here, he regularly conducts events on the topic of digital transformation. The digitalization of work, production, logistics or communication processes is an indispensable prerequisite for companies on their way into the future. Whether it's data exchange within the company or from the company to the customer or supplier, the world will become digitally connected.

In addition, a study on the topic of digitalization in the commercial vehicle industry was conducted together with the members of the CNS. The goal of the study was to analyze the current state of digitization in the regional commercial vehicle industry, identify trends and point out relevant areas where action is needed.
