The partnership between the Chemnitz Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) and Mittweida University of Applied Sciences aims to strengthen the links between academia and industry on a long-term basis, particularly in the Chemnitz/Central Saxony region. On 14 February 2023, the new 2023 Annual Work Paper was presented by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uwe Mahn (right) and Dr Cindy Krause (left), Managing Director of the Chemnitz Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Central Saxony Regional Chamber, was adopted.
Regular discussions regarding joint activities will be coordinated between the IHK’s Technology/Innovation Officer, Mr Maik Kästner (top left), and, on behalf of the HSMW, the Head of the Research Department, Mr Matthias Baumgart (top right).
The plan is to provide mutual support for event formats aimed at securing a skilled workforce and facilitating knowledge and technology transfer to strengthen the regional economy. Beyond individual events, the partners are working together on specific projects and activities. These aim to harness synergies in the region, particularly in the areas of securing a skilled workforce and the transfer of knowledge and technology. Mutual support for specific event formats serves, on the one hand, to secure a skilled workforce – particularly to stabilise the STEM sectors – and, on the other hand, to facilitate knowledge and technology transfer between academia and industry.
The partners contribute jointly to the work of their committees and keep each other informed about their activities and measures. To capitalise on synergy and multiplier effects, they collaborate in the areas of public relations and communication.
The internationalisation of the world of work in business and academia is leading to an increasing number of international students, researchers, investors and other individuals, bringing with it changes for the university and the regional labour market. These changes are being shaped, amongst other things, through joint activities and coordination.
