InnovationLab arose from the Forum Organic Electronics cooperation network, which, until the end of last year, was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework of the leading-edge cluster competition.
“By continuing with InnovationLab GmbH, we have reached a key goal of the leading-edge cluster competition, that being to build a bridge between business and science,” said Karl Hahn, senior vice president at BASF.
Merck and BASF have increased their interest to 70%. Together with the University of Heidelberg and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), they will make up the advisory board of the research platform.
Around 100 scientists currently work at InnovationLab on projects relating to printed and organic electronics.
