Innosys NordWest offers a marketplace for innovations in the form of an online platform with offers from research institutions. The innovation marketplace connects university and non-university research with business (especially SMEs) and enables a quick and successful search for suitable offers for development, research and innovation projects.

The idea is to provide comprehensive transparency of the research infrastructure in North-West Lower Saxony in order to make research and innovation quickly and easily accessible to as many regional companies as possible.

Sub-projects:

• InnoSysMarket - the online innovation marketplace
• InnoSysForum - the online counselling platform
• InnoSysLabs - laboratories at universities and Institutes
• InnoSysEvents - target group-orientated and practical events

Advantages for companies:

Companies benefit from the search engine for laboratories, equipment or advice and from a broad yet clearly structured range of offers

• Expansion of research and development capacities
• Access to a well-developed technical infrastructure and highly qualified experts
• Low-risk development of new innovation topics

Advantages for universities, institutes and technology centres:

As a mediator and supporter, InnoSys NordWest provides a showcase for the transfer offers of our institutions in the form of a large marketplace. We take over the presentation and the initiation of contacts

• Acquisition of third-party funding
• Increasing public awareness
• Greater attractiveness for students through practical project content and contacts with regional companies
