»IGCVirtuell« is the German name of our virtual platform and was derived from the project of the same name. The project was initialized to show all our competences and lead topics in one place and turn the factory floors at our three locations into a virtual experience…
…for existing and potential industry clients
…for existing and potential project partners
…for stakeholders in politics and the scientific world
…for the media, future employees and other interested parties.
The project idea originated during the COVID-19 pandemic when employees at Fraunhofer IGCV faced challenges in maintaining and expanding their contacts with industry and research. The resulting »virtual institute« translates the vision and mission of Fraunhofer IGCV into the digital space: It showcases applied research, our interdisciplinary solutions in the fields of casting, composite, and processing technology, and the modern infrastructure we can offer to customers and partners.
We hope you enjoy your virtual visit to Fraunhofer IGCV and find inspiration in the exciting research happening here!
