You too can become a driver of real innovation!
Since September 2024, the Future Forest Innovation Hub is part of the Digital Hub Initiative of Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.
The new Digital Hub Life Science & Bioeconomy with locations in Halle (Saale) and Blankenburg (Harz) combines the strengths of research, development, start-up funding, business and financing into an integrated transformation system along the industrial value chains on a shared platform. In line with the mission statement ‘Healthy ecosystems and healthy people for a future-proof and sustainable economy’, the hub accelerates digital solutions for complex systems and combines the infrastructure of the metropolitan region with the potential of rural areas.
