NEULAND – The innovation day at KIT
Entering NEULAND: Innovation Day on July 6, 2022, for the first time in hybrid form
The Innovation Day as a meeting platform for all those interested in the topics of technology transfer and business start-ups at KIT is a firmly established event in the KIT calendar.
This year, the event on July 06, 2022, was themed "Sustainable Innovation". The digital as well as present program, streamed live from the Audimax of KIT, was extensive and thematically colorful. In addition to exciting expert presentations, this year's highlights included the founder pitch followed by a subsequent award ceremony, a laudation on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the NEULAND Innovation Contest followed by it's award ceremony, and two interesting keynotes from the industry: Dr. Detlef Kratz, President Group Research at BASF SE, spoke about the company's climate protection goals and innovation pipeline. Gregor Pillen, Chairman of the Management Board of IBM Deutschland GmbH, provided insight into the potential of quantum computing in everyday life.
You can find a detailed summary of this year's Innovation Day in our follow-up report. We have compiled impressions of the day for you in our picture gallery and uploaded a highlight video.
New format for the next Innovation Day
In 2023, the Innovation Day will take a break, as the KIT will then invite you to the Science Week. However, we would be very pleased if you discover NEULAND with us again in 2024. It is best to register today for the invitation list to the Innovation Day so that we can inform you in advance. We are already looking forward to the next Innovation Day and hope to welcome you again in full presence at KIT.
Your sponsoring options for Innovation Day 2024
After two years of hybrid events due to the pandemic, the Innovation Day on June 12th, 2024, will deliberately return to a pure presence event on the KIT premises in order to focus more on the networking aspect again. We are looking forward to a restructured, diverse program with top-class contents: Short impulses on research projects, cooperation projects, start-ups, intrapreneurship, or student projects from the multifaceted research areas of KIT will be complemented by a founder pitch including award ceremony, the honoring of the prize winners of the NEULAND Innovation Contest, and a keynote in the evening. Afterwards, we would like to enable an extensive exchange among each other with drinks, snacks, and music and let the evening come to an end together.
