Promotion Campaigns
Innovations are created when consumers, users and researchers work together to develop solutions for existing and new needs. An inspiring environment, structured procedures and proven methods form the basis for this. A common virtual meeting place and an innovation process are the foundation for identifying and ultimately satisfying user needs.
The network IBAM – Innovation Booster Additive Manufacturing – funded by Innosuisse, offers a platform to search, promote and validate innovations in the field of additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing.
Do you have innovative ideas? Are you aware of unfulfilled needs or do you see solutions that can lead to new products and business processes with additive manufacturing? Then, visit our Ideation platform! You will find partners there who want to exchange ideas with you and you may apply with them for a project supported by the IBAM network.
Planned ideation campagins can be found here. Currently running or completed ideation campaigns can be found here.
