A recent study by the IMPULS Foundation of the VDMA has investigated how frugal innovations can achieve something like the perfect price-performance ratio. Not cheap or "good enough", but precisely high-quality and therefore "good value". This not only offers opportunities for new markets, but also for established ones.

As part of the web experience, the authors of the study from the Fraunhofer Institutes IAO and IPA will discuss relevant findings for successful implementation. Interactive exercises are used to demonstrate how to apply the findings in practice. Practical examples will illustrate the role played by customer requirements, organization, mindset, marketing and communication.

The virtual exchange of experiences will be rounded off with a subsequent Q&A session and discussion contributions from the participants.

The event is aimed at specialists and managers who are responsible for innovation, design and production.

Registration deadline: 12.02.2025
Moderation: Martin Strauch, Felix Prumbohm

Participation in the event is free of charge.

Registrations will be considered in the order in which they are received. Registered participants will receive a confirmation of participation and the MS Teams link for participation in good time before the event. If you are unable to attend despite registration, please send us a short message.
