Technology Scouting Münsterland

How can technological developments be recognised and used more quickly and comprehensively in Münsterland? This question is becoming increasingly important, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. The high degree of specialisation and global markets make it necessary for you as a company to recognise new technologies and their potential as quickly as possible, before the competition does. In order to make this search for new technologies as simple and cost-saving as possible, it makes sense to involve regional experts and quickly exchange information on these topics.

The Enabling Networks Münsterland project has developed various measures in the area of technology scouting that support you in your search for new technologies. This creates special technology knowledge that companies, research institutions and competence centres can use to work even better.

Goals of the technology scouting

Technology scouting makes visible how companies, but also research institutions, can develop in the future and which technologies are or can become interesting for them.
Technology scouting shows who can help companies to realise these scenarios and how cooperation works.
It supports the development of new technologies - not on one's own, but with partners in the region who support each other.
The regional technology scouting approach is communicated in information events and workshops and ensures knowledge transfer.
