Businesses get to implement innovations better, faster and leaner at the Innovation Factory. The unique ecosystem of RWTH Aachen Campus makes that possible. Academia and industry work together closely, which allows them to tap previously unimagined potential.The innovation process at the Innovation Factory begins with agility instead of the traditional creation of a technical and functional specifications document. Constructive trial and error methods shorten the route from the initial idea to the prototype and finally series production. The RWTH Aachen Campus ecosystem offers businesses everything they need to create successful innovations. Experts configure the relevantly required competences. Individually or as part of a consortium, the protected spaces in the Innovation Factory environment promote innovation in all its forms – and that quickly. Anyone can take this alternative route to innovation. Visitors are welcome to see for themselves, what potential Aachen holds for their business and can experience the local ecosystem and exciting flagship projects first hand: a low-cost electric car, the autonomous People Mover or a small electro-hybrid aircraft, the Silent Air Taxi.
