Bayern Innovativ Society for Innovation and Knowledge Transfer
Bayern Innovativ - the Society for Innovation and Knowledge Transfer jointly established in 1995 by representatives of Bavarian politics, business, and science – has been an important component of Bavaria's innovation policy for over 25 years. Focussing in particular on small and medium-sized enterprises, as they often lack the resources for costly innovation management, Bayern Innovativ enables them to successfully implement their ideas more quickly with tailor-made innovation services.
The Automotive Cluster initiates and coordinates working groups with the automotive industry focusing on automotive wiring systems. Over the years, an open community of OEMs, assemblers, cable manufacturers, contact manufacturers and equipment manufacturers such as Telsonic has emerged, which deals with diverse topics: new materials, automation, high data rates, variant reduction, ASIL in the wiring system (focus: failure rates).
These examples represent but a few of the many active partnerships where Telsonic’s technology and application expertise plays a key role in helping to define and develop the manufacturing processes and technologies of the future.
