About smart³

We believe that climate protection, the responsible use of resources and demographic change require social and economic adjustments. Sustainable solutions involve all stages of the product life cycle. And meaningful, needs-driven solutions are more than just technological innovations.

Our network is motivated by a core technological competence: the development and completion of value chains around intelligent materials, such as smart, programmable and bionic materials. Leveraging these promises opportunities for products and service applications with high functionality and low technical complexity. We can achieve this by shifting complexity from the handling level to the material level. And to turn innovations into concrete products, we connect the people in our network. Our members are research, business, social and artistic actors. We help them find the right project partners they might never have met without us. We do this by orchestrating and networking our members across disciplines. In this way we ensure resilience, because value creation in the network secures the future of the individual.
