Knowledge transfer and networking
Wissensregion Düsseldorf actively promotes exchange and cooperation between science and business in order to develop innovative solutions for current challenges.
Our aim is to create synergies and facilitate the transfer of knowledge through targeted networking initiatives and transfer projects.
International
Wissensregion Düsseldorf has launched a number of important initiatives as part of its efforts to continuously improve conditions for international students and academics.
A central component of these efforts is the development of a comprehensive FAQ list on questions of immigration law, which is being compiled in close cooperation with the Düsseldorf Immigration Office.
Düsseldorf meets International Talents
At this annual event, which took place for the second time last year (2023), international students and researchers who are completing their studies in the region are invited to show them the diverse professional and cultural opportunities in Düsseldorf and the surrounding area.
Come & Cooperate
Come & Cooperate” organizes half-day matching sessions in which researchers and companies come together for open-ended 1:1 discussions.
This is accompanied by funding advice, advice from innovation coaches and advice on property rights.
Night of Science
The Night of Science is a fascinating event organized by Heinrich Heine University that brings science and research closer to the general public in an innovative and interactive way.
This event has a special significance in the Wissensregion Düsseldorf, as it allows people of all ages to experience science up close and outside of traditional academic spaces.
Innovation course
The innovation course pursues the core idea of interdisciplinarity under the motto: “We can learn best from people who think differently.” The course is aimed at anyone who wants to develop innovative ideas and entrepreneurial skills. Participants work on prototypes and business models in a practical environment, thereby promoting their creativity and self-efficacy. The course therefore offers an ideal platform for anyone who wants to turn their visions into tangible projects and strengthen the culture of innovation in the region.
A magnet for international talent
The article in the Rheinische Post on March 28, 2023 highlights the Wissensregion Düsseldorf initiative, which aims to keep foreign students and researchers in the region.
In cooperation with well-known companies such as Henkel and the Max Planck Institute, as well as the Düsseldorf Chamber of Industry and Commerce, improved integration programs and networking opportunities are being created.
These measures are intended not only to attract talent, but also to retain it in the region in the long term, thereby consolidating education and knowledge as central pillars of local development and location marketing.
