On a Tuesday evening a month we welcome all those interested in innovation and innovation management at the INC Invention Center at the RWTH Aachen Campus. We are looking for exciting discussions with speakers from business and science as well as other participants from the region of Aachen on various aspects of the topic of technology and innovation management. All events will be held in English to promote the exchange even beyond the national border and involve the students of RWTH Business School.

„Why we search for the fly in the ointment – innovation journey in the battery industry”

The secret dream of each scientist is to contribute something that outlast one’s own existence. It could be a scientific discovery or in our case it was an invention which begged for being hammered into the battery industry. The talk showcases Safion’s journey in the economic tides. We exhibit how scientific research successfully can be turned into innovative products and what are the biggest challenges in transforming academic mindsets into the state of mind of creative destruction.
