A French-Swiss consortium is conducting exploratory research to develop a “smart bra” for detecting breast cancer. It wants to leverage technological progress to offer a more accessible diagnostic method than mammography. This initiative – that involves five partners – is supported in France by the FEDER (European fund for regional development) and in Switzerland by the Confederation and the canton of Neuchâtel within the framework of the European programme for regional cooperation Interreg France-Switzerland.
AIXTRON SE (Herzogenrath, Germany), a leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry, has successfully investigated the production, properties and applications of 2D nanomaterials in the "HEA2D" project together with five partners.
For the third time, TÜV SÜD's innovation prize honours successful cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and research institutions. The 2019 winners are Neotech AMT GmbH and the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Department of Factory Automation and Production Systems (FAPS). Together, they have developed a manufacturing technology with which mechatronic systems can be 3D printed “fully additively”.
