An example of cross-border innovation
During the ceremony, FLEXOO and Swiss technology company NovaMea were featured together in the official programme as examples of international high-tech companies supported by Chinese Consortium. The programme also highlighted the companies’ involvement in a joint European R&D project with Fraunhofer UMSICHT focused on advanced catalyst coating technologies for AEM electrolyzer stacks.
The project was presented as an example of how collaboration between industry, research organizations and innovation partners can accelerate technology development and commercialization across borders.
China as a strategic market for industrial innovation
Beyond the ceremony, the visit provided an opportunity to engage with representatives from industry, research and the investment community and to discuss emerging topics including Physical AI, intelligent sensing, robotics and battery technologies.
China continues to be an important market for many of the industries served by FLEXOO and offers a highly dynamic environment for advanced manufacturing, automation and technology commercialization. During the event, Dr. Michael Kröger presented FLEXOO’s vision for Physical AI and discussed how physical data can help bridge the gap between digital intelligence and real-world industrial systems.
Building bridges between Europe and China
As FLEXOO continues to grow its international network, the company remains focused on connecting physical sensing, data and AI with real-world industrial applications. Collaboration across research, industry and investment ecosystems will remain a key factor in accelerating the development and deployment of next-generation intelligent systems.
