Our project shows how sustainable materials can be produced efficiently using state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence. The aim is to develop a fully automated pilot plant that is continuously optimized using a digital twin and AI. In doing so, we are setting a milestone for the industrial bioeconomy and sustainable material production. This award is further proof of the innovative strength of the Technikum Laubholz and our ability to transform sustainable materials into marketable products.

 

Special thanks go to the Ministry of Food, Rural Areas, and Consumer Protection Baden-Württemberg (MLR) for this special recognition and to Minister Peter Hauk MdL for the ceremonial presentation of the award.
