Today I had a presentation at the IZFP (Institut für Zerstörungsfreie Prüfverfahren). They do research about materiel quality tests without affecting the material (for example test train wheels for internal tears, pipelines test, radiation test on nano meter level... More information here).
The presentation was done by Prof. Kröning. He had some interesting ideas:
"World is global, also for research and industrie" "Competition is difficult with current German research organization/thinking (BAT)" "Knowledge is a product" "Realization -> Technology -> prototype -> Product" "Business areas: means also that you knowlingly loose business to concentrate on some specific fields" "People will buy if you can save them money: examplemple, if a company pay a lot of money for insurance, they will give you some of it if you find a way to lower the insurance (by convincing the insurance that products have been tested and the risk is lower)." "due to demographic evolution we don't have enoyoungxung people in Germany. This means less innovation and consumption" (remark: he is over 60).
