Funding










             SaxoCell  is  one  of  seven  winners  of  the  Clusters4Future  initiative  of  the  BMBF  and
             prevailed  against  a  total  of  137  applicants  in  the  first  round  of  the  2021  competition.
             Under the motto "Clusters4Future", research-intensive regions throughout Germany are
             taking  innovative  approaches  to  knowledge  and  technology  transfer  with  the  aim  of
             creating the next generation of regional innovation networks. The clusters of the future
             are intended to bring excellent research results more quickly into application and thus
             into people's everyday lives.


             A total of 14 future clusters, seven from the
             first and seven from the second competition                               OTC_Rostock
             phase,  have  been  selected  and  funded  by
             the BMBF so far. SaxoCell is in close contact
             with  the  other  clusters,  which  focus  on                   QVLS-iLabs
             communication,         mobility,      quantum          Wasserstoff
             technology and medicine, among others.                                                SEMECO

             implementation phases with a total funding
