What it is, when it makes sense
The digitalization will change chemical innovation management in two dimensions: The processes in the ‘classical’ areas product development and application development will be influenced by digital approaches. In addition other innovation types – like business model innovation – will gain more importance on the overall innovation landscape.
Learn on this training how existing innovation processes will benefit from digitalization and how you can apply new innovation types in your company.
Key topics are the digitally supported idea generation, computational chemistry tools and lab robots. In addition business model innovation will be introduced.
With project examples from the chemical industry and from our consortium project with 20 chemical companies all participants get many ideas to apply for the ‘own’ company.
Our senior trainers – together with our partner DexLeChem can customize the training and go deeper in the topics which are most important for the training participants.
