The ROCKET project promotes cooperation between business and science in the German-Dutch border region between North Sea and Lower Rhine to strengthen research, technological development and innovation.
Key Enabling Technologies (KET, such as nanotechnology, microsystem technology, micro- and nanoelectronics, advanced materials as well as photonics) form the technological basis for the answers to the global challenges.
This project is financially supported by the European Union and INTERREG partners within the INTERREG program.
Objectives of the project are
- Development, promotion and implementation of cross-border innovation projects in the application areas of health, energy and production.
- Evaluation of project ideas by means of feasibility studies.
- Acceleration of knowledge transfer for the development of up to 40 marketable, KET-based products.
- Establishment of a cross-border network with a large pool of high-tech SMEs.
- Increasing the competitiveness of SMEs, promoting growth and job creation.
