#113 Exploring a Composites R&D Center and Incubator Platform - live from China

Happy new year from Composites Lounge and the LinkedIn Industry
Community.

Being in the industrial field for over 30+ years I am always
eager to present new trends and technologies. Advanced materials
have been trending for a while now. I do remember at around Y2K
it commenced becoming the go-to solution and represented a true
innovation in many fields.

Lately, sustainability has been added and that's why my three
content pillars comprise of technology, innovation and
sustainability.

I am overly glad that my guest Dr. Timo Huber of ACTC will be
available for a live talk. ACTC is a bit particular in that it
combines the traits of an R&D Centre and an incubation
platform. This business model is an innovation in itself and I am
truly wondering what are the similarities and differences of ACTC
to a manufacturing corporation and a third party testing
entity.

We will delve into also the TRL, that is technology readiness
level that many of you may not be aware of. TRL is a term that
describes the maturity level of your innovation and whoever is
busy with new product development should be aware of it. Needless
to say that the European Commission and other governmental bodies
require identification of the beneficiary's TRL for grants.

While we have Timo in China, we will show you around the HRC
facility. Yes, Timo joins me live from China. There will be an
opportunity to talk about thermoset, thermoplast and composite
processes in some detail during our stream.

PS: Are you attending JEC World during 5 to 8 March in Paris? Why
not visit the booth of HRC (mother of ACTC) and talk first hand
with Timo. I will be at JEC, too, and cover the event with my
LinkedIn format
