Innovation is a key success factor in ensuring the competitiveness of the maritime industry. The Innovation Management Specialist Group helps companies to strengthen their innovative capabilities strategically and develop sustainable solutions.
Development of the specialist group
The specialist group was established to provide member companies with structured access to innovation methods, financing instruments and funding. It’s a key driver for promoting forward thinking within the cluster.
What does the specialist group do?
The specialist group offers a practical “innovation management toolbox” to support stakeholders in brainstorming, project delivery, marketing and protecting innovations. Networking with other specialist groups and cross-disciplinary collaboration are also key focuses.
Key topics:
- Innovation processes and methods
- Funding advice and financing
- Business model development
- Innovation protection (IPR)
- Project development and management
- Open innovation and technology transfer
Keywords: Innovation, funding, projects, technology transfer, innovation management, methods, strategies, tools
Participating and networking
The specialist group is currently undergoing a period of reorientation. Active participation is therefore not possible at present. However, topics related to innovation are continuously being addressed and developed in the other specialist groups, where there are numerous opportunities for participation and networking. If you are interested in an exchange or activities related to innovation management, please contact Henning Edlerherr at the MCN office in Lower Saxony. You will find the contact details below.
