Regional transformation network for the vehicle and supplier industry Berlin Brandenburg (ReTraNetz-BB)
Regionale Transformationsnetzwerk für die Fahrzeug- und Zulieferindustrie Berlin Brandenburg (ReTraNetz-BB)
Background information
The regional transformation network for the vehicle and supplier industry in Berlin-Brandenburg (ReTraNetz-BB) supports the vehicle industry in the region, which is currently undergoing profound change.
The project aims to support SMEs in Berlin-Brandenburg in the transformation to CO2-neutral mobility and production, promote existing strengths, develop new topics and devise measures. It should not only benefit the vehicle and supplier industry, but also deliver results that are transferable to other sectors and contexts. The project serves to secure relevant future fields of the automotive industry in the region and promotes the preservation and expansion of added value and jobs. Members of the network include various stakeholders from educational institutions, science and business development as well as the IG Metall trade union and the Association of the Metal and Electrical Industry.
Content of measure
ReTraNetz-BB offers a wide range of measures to effectively support the transformation of the vehicle and supplier industry in Berlin-Brandenburg. A central focus is on the qualification, retraining and further training of skilled workers. The network develops and promotes practical concepts, helps to identify training needs and supports companies with examples of best practice. It assists in the testing and evaluation of measures to ensure that have a lasting effect.
ReTraNetz-BB also initiates long-term cooperation and networks between science and industry. In this way, technological core competences and results from research projects can be transferred into innovative solutions for industry. The range of services also includes arranging funding opportunities in areas such as digitalisation, coaching, investment, research and development, energy optimisation and internationalisation.
To develop new business models, the network promotes dialogue through expert discussions and workshops, with a particular focus on digital business models and the circular economy. The "real world laboratory" at the Production Technology Centre Berlin serves as a central location for testing innovative process chains and transferring sustainable technologies into real-life application scenarios.
