INCUBATOR MATERIALS
A matter of progress
Incubator Materials promotes innovations in materials science
In medical technology or the automotive industry, in textiles or the food industry: technical progress always needs new materials and substances that are precisely tailored to the respective application. Their application is as diverse as our lives. Innovations in the field of materials science not only bring economic success; they can also contribute to environmental protection and improve our quality of life.
Are you on the trail of a material science phenomenon? It doesn’t matter if it’s an idea for a product or a service acquired through cutting-edge research, as even “low-tech” ideas can have a huge impact.
SUPPORT
The Materials Incubator supports primarily founders from the Ruhr region with:
- individual coaching offers
- modern equipment
- and an extensive interdisciplinary network.
INTERDISCIPLINARY NETWORK
You benefit from the close ties between the Incubator and the Materials Research Department MRD at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. There, researchers from various disciplines develop novel materials with previously untapped properties, sometimes in cooperation with national and international research institutions.
MODER RESEARCH EQUIPMENT AND CREATIVE SPACES
You will find an inspiring environment for your innovation in materials science at the Center for interface-dominated high-performance materials ZGH, where the Materials Incubator is located. The ZGH is a new research building at Ruhr-Universität, furnished with state-of-the-art equipment; there, interdisciplinary teams explore and develop materials for surfaces and interfaces. The Incubator team welcomes you to its coaching and creative rooms and puts you in contact with experts. The ideal conditions for successfully launching your future project!
