The URL www.innovationskraftwerk.de will take you to the first open-innovation platform to address scientific and political issues as well as innovation and solution processes in business and industry. It is a forum for the study of a wide range of themes:

• "What will the city of the future look like?"
• "What use can an angular section of glass tubing be put to?"
• "Who's going to look after us when we're old?"

At Innovationskraftwerk.de the idea seekers draw on the know-how of the outside world in tackling concrete challenges. The best idea givers, for their part, benefit from the implementation of their ideas in the form of awards, rewards and public recognition of their achievements.

• Innovationskraftwerk.de is the first holistic project in the field of open innovation and covers a broad spectrum of themes relating to the economy, science and society.
• Interested individuals and institutions around the globe are invited to provide input, thereby setting new benchmarks and creating new possibilities for processes dedicated to idea generation and problem solving.
• An enlarged user group can create more heterogeneity and creativity of ideas than self-contained innovation processes can.


• So it is that Innovationskraftwerk.de bolsters Germany as a country of innovation.
