Creating a Digital Materials Space: MATERIAL D1G1TAL

The aim of this project is to develop a sustainable platform that brings together and supports interested parties from industry and academia in the sustainable implementation of digitalization tasks for materials. At the same time, tools are being developed with which the digitalization of materials can also be put into practice and which, as added value, underpin the economic connectivity of the MaterialDigital platform as a prerequisite for a sustainable business model.
