Bundling existing innovative forces in the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion (TRK) and utilizing synergies - find out all the important information about the innovation location.
The regional innovation management of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion (TRK) is picking up speed under the umbrella of the TRK Innogator NETZ project, which was supported by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Tourism between 2019 and 2021. The aim is to bundle the existing innovative forces in the TRK and pass them on to SMEs and other target groups in a targeted manner.
Two practical tools are at the heart of this: the TRK Innovation Atlas provides a digital overview of the region's innovation landscape. From innovation centers to cluster initiatives and networks, relevant information and contacts are easily accessible.
The Expert:innen network TRK presents renowned experts in a transparent manner. The focus is particularly on the areas of digitalization, mobility and energy. The idea behind it: To increase visibility and enable direct, personal access.
The overarching goal is clear: to bundle innovation expertise at TRK and pass it on to SMEs in a tailored manner. Innovation management acts as a catalyst for effective collaboration and supports companies in making their value chains fit for the future.
With its NEO Innovation Award, TRK sets standards in the promotion of future-oriented developments. Every year, it presents itself with a topic relevant to the future as a prestigious platform for decision-makers from business and science.
The prize is endowed with 20,000 euros and is awarded throughout Germany and across borders in Alsace. NEO2025 is dedicated to the topic of artificial intelligence.

Transformation processes lead to technological changes and new fields of innovation. With the InnoTranSystem TRK project, we are working on the overall further development of the regional innovation system.
We network innovation players with each other, map expert knowledge and develop and expand fields of transformation - with the aim of making existing knowledge and potential visible both internally and externally. Further information on the InnoTranSystem can be found here.
TRK Innovation Atlas: the new platform offers direct access to important institutions and contacts in the regional innovation landscape.

The Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion is home to renowned and well-known experts in various specialist fields. In order to make them more visible nationally and internationally and to facilitate better access, TRK GmbH has set up a network of experts.
The integration of citizens and stakeholders in the decision-making processes of technology development is considered essential. Although some local practitioners have considerable knowledge and experience in this area, the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion currently lacks structured opportunities to exchange and further develop this know-how. Practitioners from different sectors, including business, administration and research, tend to "reinvent the wheel" in citizen and/or stakeholder participation processes.
To counteract this phenomenon, the tetRRIS team in Karlsruhe has set up a "Practitioner Network for Citizen and Stakeholder Participation" as part of the EU project. The network provides a safe space for practitioners to share their experiences, including challenges and failures. External speakers are invited to present relevant topics and develop guidelines and manuals. This network aims to institutionalize Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the region to make high-quality public engagement a standard in the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion.
