AMBITION

We are very pleased that we contributed to the DIVE study. The results are truly valuable, because it gives us insights in the workforce (arbeidsmarkt) of Twente. Now we know where can we put our joint effort to change it for the better. Also we are very happy that we can integrate the game in the pilot project about internationalization.

Linda van Asselt, Program Manager, Talent – Twenteboard

The partnership with FIP-AM@UT has not only enhanced our industrial efficiency but also contributed to advancing eco-friendly energy solutions and fostering technological innovation

Johannes Burger, CTO Cooll

The project was a stepping stone for us towards a hybrid solution for the configuration of welding jigs

Henk van Ommeren, Managing Director MechDes

The Fraunhofer Innovation Platform (previously known as the Fraunhofer Project Center) plays a vital role in this region as a connective link where science becomes business

Anne-Wil Lucas, Former Director Kennispark Twente

As a leading manufacturer for films, we value the research and solution that the Fraunhofer Project Center (now known as the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform) was able to deliver according to our specific requirements. We are one step closer to overcoming our problem due to the partnership with the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform

Bo Weijermars, Product/Process Engineer, Polaroid

The work performed at the Fraunhofer Innovation Platform (previously known as the Fraunhofer Project Center) helped us to set up a structured way of performing experiments and analysing results to optimise the additive manufacturing process. Also, their scientific way of looking at things gave the project the angle it needed
