The major transformation topics of our time – digitalisation, decarbonisation, and also demographic change – call for us to look even more thoroughly for new, sustainable solutions to address these future challenges. Innovations are key to this. The aim of the NRW.innovativ competence centre is to strengthen the innovative power of North Rhine-Westphalia with new and forward-looking approaches.
Flanked by the innovation strategy and its industrial policy model, North Rhine-Westphalia has initiated numerous measures to ensure successful industrial transformation. Prognos was commissioned by the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Economy, Industry, Climate Protection, and Energy to set up and operate the “NRW.innovativ” competence centre. Among other things, this serves as a central interface for networking the relevant innovation stakeholders from all areas of society. It thus contributes to the operationalisation of NRW's innovation strategy. Prognos is working on this project with partners Imp3rove, Kearney, Fraunhofer ISI, Eurada, and the GiftGrün agency.
Prognos is responsible for the main areas of work relating to the efficient networking of nationwide innovation actors, the strategic support of regional stakeholders, and the development of lighthouse projects for the NRW innovation location.
