Industry 4.0
The German-Emirati Institute
RWTH Aachen University is establishing the new German-Emirati Institute in Germany to promote scientific and economic exchange between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Federal Republic of Germany.
The cooperation goes back to an exchange between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Crown Prince HH Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in 2019, during which technology cooperation was agreed, particularly with regard to Industry 4.0. The full name of the new institute, which will act as a project management organization, is therefore "German-Emirati Institute - Technologies 4.0" (GEI) and is based on the RWTH Aachen Campus.
A total of over 25 projects have been identified in which the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Germany can jointly establish and develop Industry 4.0 projects. Four projects in the areas of emission-free synthetic fuels, intelligent aircraft cabins, recycling of aircraft parts and improved cockpits for aircraft and cars have already received funding. This is an initial focus in the cooperation with industrial partners from the United Arab Emirates in the research field of aviation, in which RWTH Aachen University and its partners FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences and the German Aerospace Center DLR have already initiated a collaboration at Merzbrück Research Airport.
Participants in the first GEI projects include the Machine Tool Laboratory WZL at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen University of Applied Sciences and e.SAT GmbH, a developer and manufacturer of environmentally friendly, low-noise aircraft with hybrid-electric drives.
