The Innovation Center forms the core of our Innovation Network. It is complemented by our hubs, labs and units. These are located at our various sites, and they focus on addressing a range of topics.

Hubs are physical spaces located at Drees & Sommer sites. They are each dedicated to their own specific topic. As central nodes in our ecosystem, they have close connections with relevant participants representing the worlds of science, startups, and the market. Units and labs are skill-based teams that work on innovations within a specific topic area, but don't (yet) have their own facilities to offer to the topic in question.
