The main focus of the trip will be on the fol­lo­wing sectors:
- Indus­tri­al IT (Indus­try 4.0, Inter­net of Things)
- Media Management
- Tele­ma­tics, assis­tance sys­tems, auto­no­mous driving
- E-Mobility
- digi­tal solu­ti­ons for ship­ping and logistics

In jus­ti­fied excep­tio­nal cases and if the­re is still room, repre­sen­ta­ti­ves of other indus­tries can also be included.

With the help of a sub­s­idy appli­ed for by the WFBB and from the Euro­pean Regio­nal Deve­lo­p­ment Fund (ERDF), the ser­vices are offe­red at no cost. The cos­ts must be cover­ed by the par­ti­ci­pan­ts them­sel­ves, i.e. flight and hotel as well as meals on a self-pay basis.
