Projects
Saxony is undergoing structural change: digitalisation is taking place everywhere and small and medium-sized enterprises are actively looking for solutions. For this reason, the Ministry of Science, Culture and Tourism of the Free State of Saxony and the Leipzig Graduate School of Management (HHL) have founded the initiative “Zukunftsland Sachsen”. The platform brings networking, knowledge transfer and events through new approaches and success stories. For entrepreneurs, managers and people who want to make a difference.
The project is funded by the Saxon State Ministry for Science, Culture and Tourism (SMWK).
Female Founders Initiative & SMILE – Start-up Initiative
The Female Founders Initiative is a program from the field of start-up promotion that specializes in supporting women interested in founding a company. As part of the Leipzig university startup network “SMILE – Start-up Initivative”, HHL offers a 6-month class in which 12 selected women develop their business ideas in workshops and seminars with subject matter experts, discuss entrepreneurial issues from a women’s perspective, define their female leadership personality and expand their entrepreneurial network. Together with a personal start-up coach and an individually selected mentor, participants work on their business pitch. The insights gained from the practical experience are also incorporated into the Female Entrepreneurship research.
The project is funded by the European Union, the European Social Fund and the Free State of Saxony (SAB-Application number: 100463196).
IMPACT – Building values-based innovation cultures for sustainable business impact
IMPACT is a practice-based, sustainability-oriented, and result-driven project aiming to advance Europe’s capacity and effectiveness in training and teaching sustainability-oriented innovation and entrepreneurship (SOIE). The ambition of the project is to drive innovation and entrepreneurship based on values of corporate sustainability, and to facilitate organisation-wide cultural change toward more sustainable innovation processes. The project specifically focuses on bringing together leaders from industry, academia and innovation ecosystems in order to: 1) empirically generate, aggregate, exchange and disseminate knowledge about good practices and methods in SOIE, 2) facilitate values-based and sustainability-oriented innovation and entrepreneurship practices and methods that help to establish a sustainability-oriented innovation culture and 3) create advanced education methods and real problem-based materials to teach and learn SOIE.
The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union (Grant Code: 621672-EPP-1-2020-1-DE-EPPKA2-KA).
The aim of the research project is to develop a platform-based assistance system for the selection of sensor solutions with digital business models. This should enable plant developers to identify user-centric requirements already during the planning phase. In addition, stakeholders from plant and sensor manufacturing can use this tool to develop and offer data-driven services to complement their hardware product. The assistance system is thus not only intended to be used for the development of new products, but also to offer extended functionalities for new service-based business models with the help of retrofits of existing plants and to generate plant data.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Grant Code: 02J19B063).
Company networks are supported by intelligent technologies and networking possibilities, and material goods as well as services are connected to form hybrid service bundles. In AgilHybrid, building services and building technology are being made fit for the digitally networked business models of tomorrow. In addition to the development of a corresponding competence model and the design of an online course, important steps were taken for targeted competence development. The goal of developing a modular toolbox with various methods for employees as well as managers is designed with innovative teaching and learning modules that have been tested in practice and can be individually adapted. This ensures helpful support, especially for SMEs, for the development of digitally networked business models in the form of new business fields.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Grant Code: 02L17B032).
Co-TWIN – Collaborative Digital Twin in Value Creation Networks
In Germany, the mechanical and plant engineering industry is characterized by decentralized, medium-sized production and supplier networks. Hence, technologies associated with Industry 4.0 could contribute to a competitive advantage for firms by starting to collaborate within these value creation networks more efficiently. In this sense, one potential approach can be the establishment of a digital twin, which collects and processes as well as presents system-related data in form of a digital representation of machines.
The Co-TWIN research project takes up on the basic idea of the digital twin and expands it to a holistic approach that supports collaboration within and between firms as well as throughout the entire life-cycle of systems. To this end, a software solution was developed and continuously optimized serving to combine the various cases throughout a machine´s life-cycle. Based on a large number of interviews and workshops not only process landscapes and approaches to productivity measurement but also prototypical business models for the Co-TWIN platform have been developed and will be further optimized.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Grant Code: 02P17D141).

Completed Projects
GAMIFY – Games as Methods to Enhance Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The GAMIFY project pursues the goal of using gamification & games to develop new, goal-oriented learning & teaching methods, to open up new opportunities for learning & to foster the practical application of entrepreneurial skills. In order to sustainably promote these goals, new gamified learning & teaching methods were developed, tested & implemented within the project & based on the entrepreneurial problems of our industrial consortium partners.
The subsequent dissemination of consolidated working materials, games, webinars & publications gives internal as well as external stakeholders of the project the chance to ensure the growth of innovation & entrepreneurship through gamification. Thus, the project creates a methodological added value for sustainable industrial & academic development.

The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union (Grant Code: 600947-EPP-1-2018-1-DE-EPPKA2-KA – 2018-3875).
futureTEX-incubator for technical textiles and disruptive products
The futureTEX project as a whole pursues the goal of supporting the TechTex industry in its transformation into a robust & innovative industry of the future. The task of the Inkubator is to transform selected technological project results (basis = researched & developed technology) into promising use cases. With the help of on- and offline workshops the selected teams subsequently undergo a design thinking process within the Inkubator. The main focus is on the continuous examination of customer needs, feasibility and marketability.
The Inkubator has already given four teams from medium-sized companies the opportunity to transform their researched technologies into commercially promising fields of application. Three further teams are currently still in the Incubation process. The project thus makes a major contribution to the sustainable increase in the innovative strength of medium-sized companies.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Grant Code: 03ZZ0604A).
The aim of the project PROFUND is to create an appropriate network structure for the development of customized technical textiles in a cross-company network. This network structure aims at enabling small and medium-sized enterprises to make optimal use of their resources in networks for mass customization along the textile value chain.
By exchanging and processing information on customer requirements, preliminary products and manufacturing processes in the form of development data and by means of configuration tools, development orders can be processed faster and more cost efficiently. Besides, customer requirements in the B2B segment are highly diverse and complex. The question of how these needs can be addressed efficiently in the value co-creation process has remained unanswered in research and practice. In the project, CLIC will focus on the design and implementation of suitable configuration tools to support the individualization process.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Grant Code: 03ZZ0604A).
PRODISYS – Engineering of Production-Related Service Systems
In a sub-project, CLIC plans and implements service systems with potentials for new forms of value creation and develops techniques for assessing and measuring the productivity of these solutions.
