Lusatia is facing significant challenges: With the planned phase-out of lignite, it is facing structural change, while the exodus of many young people is exacerbating the shortage of skilled workers.

The T!Raum-Initiative syntral aims to close this gap between the conurbations and rural areas.

In addition to the project coordinator, the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden and 17 other regional partners have joined forces to develop and install transfer approaches for ideas, knowledge and technologies. The project partners of this BMBF-funded programme want to establish a nationally visible industrial cluster in resource-efficient lightweight system construction in Lusatia, transfer existing research results at eye level to SMEs, make the training of specialists and junior staff more attractive through new digitalized, decentralized offers and visualize and network existing cluster structures and networks nationwide.

The video shows how important cooperation is.

Since Arctic temperatures prevail in parts of Scandinavia, water pipes with large pipe cover are laid. For this purpose, installation sets in special lengths are used. However, they cause high costs during storage and transport.

For us, the task arose: How can we optimize both transport and storage for our customer? As the video shows, the addition of extensions to our standard installation set is an economical replacement for such special length products.
