General information

Company profile	The ECOMAT Innovation Platform focusses on supporting research and development in the fields of materials technology, lightweight construction and production technologies in Bremen, with the aim of providing a platform for discovering common interests and exchanging ideas. Founded at the start of 2019, its members work closely together to provide new impetus for the sector, expand research infrastructure, bundle areas of expertise and improve cooperation between industry, component suppliers and the world of science. It operates within a national and an international framework. The ECOMAT research and technology center in Bremen pools the expertise of industry and science in the sustainable transformation of the aerospace industry. It provides access to key technologies in the fields of cryogenic hydrogen, lightweight construction, manufacturing technology, 3D printing and virtual testing and approval processes. This strengthens Bremen’s innovative capacity and competitiveness.
Products & Services	– representing interest groups and network management – bundling areas of expertise – creating more efficient R&D infrastructures – supporting the next generation of scientists – providing platforms for the exchange of information and a common public image – organising events, issues publications and provides information using a number of different channels.
References and export activities	Research focuses on reducing resource use and emissions through cryogenic hydrogen, new materials, and advanced manufacturing. Under the “virtual product” concept, digital design, testing, and certification (e.g., for aviation systems) support efficient, eco-friendly aircraft development via end-to-end digitalization.
Target group	OEMs, suppliers and research institutes in the field of lightweight construction technology for application in aviation and aerospace, automotive engineering, wind power and ship-building and more
Competitive advantages	ECOMAT is both a research centre and a real community. Its laboratory facilities are just as important as the regular discussions and get-togethers where the 500 researchers who work there can swap ideas, creating industry-oriented applications which will quickly find their way into production in real life. Sharing laboratory facilities (e.g. CryoLab) and the technical centre creates the synergies which makes this possible.
Ideal Business Partners	OEMs, suppliers and research institutes in the field of lightweight construction technology for application in aviation and aerospace, automotive engineering, wind power and ship-building and more
