Manufactory is a growth technology centre where companies and researchers work closely together on specific production challenges – from automation and process optimisation to digitalisation and sustainable transition. We translate research and new knowledge into action, providing your company with solutions that increase efficiency, make production more sustainable and strengthen competitiveness.
What does your company gain from collaborating with us?
For many manufacturing companies, innovation may seem both risky and costly. At Manufactory, we help your company develop and test concrete solutions to your challenges. Not just on paper, but for real in production.
Together, we translate new knowledge into methods, technologies and processes that can be scaled up and create measurable impact. This enables your company to optimise production, reduce waste, strengthen your competitiveness and show the way in a constantly evolving market.
Participation is free of charge. All you have to do is allocate the time and resources appropriate to the scale of the challenge. In return, you get to collaborate with researchers who will work closely with you to create solutions that work in the real world.
What you get:
- Concrete results – not just ideas on a whiteboard, but solutions ready for testing and implementing.
- Research-based development – access to new knowledge and methods you will not find anywhere else.
- New perspectives – when researchers and external knowledge partners look at your challenge with fresh eyes.
- Less risk – because you can test and validate new technologies before implementing them.
- Greater competitiveness – through a more efficient, sustainable and scalable production setup.

All cases taken on by Manufactory, including yours, are always based on a concrete challenge, often in the areas of sustainable production, automation, digitalisation or process optimisation. The collaboration is based on the real-world challenges and needs of your company. We identify the challenges, design the process and put together a multidisciplinary team of researchers who are dedicated to developing solutions that can make a difference to your production.
A collaboration is carried out as a case study over one to two years and consists of the following steps:
Research and practice hand in hand
Manufactory is a collaboration between research and industry for the purpose of developing and testing new technology. Research is translated into concrete solutions, while the projects generate valuable research output, new methods, data and experiences for use in future research, in publications and in cross-disciplinary projects.
