The Innovation Lab is aimed at Master's students, particularly from the fields of computer science, economics, physics and chemistry. Three Berlin-based industrial companies each contribute a use case to a lab that deals with relevant fields of development such as cloud logistics, AI-supported processes or cyber security issues. On the topic of advanced materials, students in a project group develop user-centred solutions that are relevant to the ecological transformation of industry and enable the use of new, more efficient and/or more sustainable materials in production.
