Transfer Assistant with the DB RegioNetz Verkehrs GmbH

In cooperation with DB RegioNetz Verkehrs GmbH, a transfer assistant is employed at the Chair of Management Accounting and Controlling to support innovation and value creation activities in the field of "Alternative Drives and Digitalisation in Railway Transport" at the interface between Chemnitz University of Technology and the regional railway/mobility sector. The Erzgebirgsbahn and the Fahrzeug- und Technologiezentrum Chemnitz (FTC), which operate as profit centers within DB RegioNetz, and other regional partners are to be put in a better position to open up new markets with innovative products and services by transferring research results into business. For this purpose, the services offered by Chemnitz University of Technology, especially in the areas of integrated technology and business model development as well as technology, innovation and supply chain management, are to be mobilised, developed further for rail transport on specific topics and made known to companies. The transfer assistant will contribute with own technical-economic concepts and analyses to the commercial utilisation of railway innovations and help to build up and expand regional cooperation and network relations by bringing together matching needs and service offers and establishing contacts between innovation partners. In this way, the Chemnitz-Erzgebirge region is to be developed into a competence and technology centre for future railway technologies.
