The ZEISS Innovation Hub Dresden was founded in 2021 to listen to researchers and their scientific findings at the Dresden academic landscape. We are looking for new developments and technologies which have the potential to disrupt our way of life, change entire markets and heavily impact the work of entire industries in the next 10-15 years. In the talk, I will explain how the Innovation Hub works, what is our scope and how we try to deal with the high uncertainty which comes along with these technologies, commonly called Deep Techs.
Tilman von Strauwitz, whose scientific records are published under his birth name Tilman Ahlfeld, studied materials science at the mechanical faculty of TU Dresden focusing on biomolecular materials and functional materials. Afterwards he joined the Lab of Michael Gelinsky located at the university hospital in Dresden to obtain a PhD in the field of biofabrication at the interface of regenerative biology, additive manufacturing and tissue engineering. He researched how bone cells can be bioprinted to achieve three-dimensional constructs for bone replacement. His PhD thesis was awarded as best thesis by the German Society for Biomaterials (DGBM) and won the Georg-Helm medal of the TU Dresden. In 2022, Tilman joined the ZEISS Innovation Hub as an Innovation Scout. He is actively screening for novel and exciting technologies which one would not necessarily connect with ZEISS on a first glance and explores them as new opportunities for the company.
