Roadmap

The taskforce of the Smart Systems Hub is headed by Prof. Frank Fitzek (ETIT, TU Dresden). Prof. Aßmann is a member. The taskforce prepares a proposal for the BMWI. In June 2017, at the IT-Summit in Ludwigshafen, Dresden wants to join the de:hubs. 

The purpose of the Smart Systems Hub is to provide a platform to transform classic industries with IoT technology ("digitization"). Therefore, a Hub Agency will mediate external, national, and international parties with Dresden and Saxon players for IoT technology. 

• Jungle trails through the Smart Systems Hub will be defined, on which parties can meet 
• Common research and transfer projects will be defined.
• Prototypes of wild ideas will be tested in the IoT makerspaces and living labs of the Smart Systems Hub. 
• Students will be involved in the Co-Working Space.
• Corporate partners can host a jungle trail.
