ATTRACT is an initiative enabling the transition of the technology generated mainly for fundamental research purposes toward industrial and societal applications. It aims to streamline this process by creating an innovation ecosystem that reduces risk through funding and expertise. Furthermore, it also seeks to connect researchers with young innovators and potential investors to maximise the benefits of the new technologies to society.
During 3 days in November, CBI A3 took place at IdeaSquare. Students from Inno-Space Mannheim used the open space and its many AV solutions, the machine shop as well as some containers to carry out their challenge based innovation (CBI) design thinking project (DTP).
