Technology networks at IKV Science and industry in dialog
© DF.FotografieIKV develops technology networks that build a bridge between research and industry. The aim of these networks is to promote the transfer of knowledge, drive forward pioneering technologies and develop innovative solutions for the challenges facing the plastics industry. In close cooperation, leading experts from science and industry regularly exchange ideas in order to work together on practical research topics.
A central component of the technology networks are workshops and regular forum meetings, which enable the intensive exchange of specialist knowledge and best practices. These platforms create ideal conditions for building networks, forging new partnerships and driving technological progress.
Hydrogen Business and Technology Forum
This joint platform provides comprehensive insights into the performance of plastics, enabling the hydrogen community to explore new opportunities. Together, plastics manufacturers and processors are developing a deep understanding of the requirements of the hydrogen value chain.

© IKVTogether we make AI applicable: With KI4KI, we are putting digitalisation and artificial intelligence into practice – along the entire plastics value chain. KI4KI is aimed at players along the entire plastics value chain and is open to companies, research institutions and start-ups who want to work together on the practical implementation of AI solutions.
The focus is on knowledge transfer, application-oriented research and the development of specific use cases – from material development to processing and recycling.
With workshops, pilot projects and a strong network, KI4KI creates a platform for exchange, cooperation and innovation – for a sustainable plastics industry in the age of digital transformation.
Advanced Mechanical Recycling (AMR)
The Advanced Mechanical Recycling (AMR) technology network at the IKV brings together stakeholders from science and industry to jointly develop innovative solutions for the technologically advanced recycling of plastic waste. The focus is on further developing classic mechanical recycling processes into industrially applicable technologies that can also process mixed and more heavily contaminated plastic streams into high-quality recyclates.
