GorWay and the Hasso Plattner Institute join forces
27 April 2018
GorWay is joining forces with the respected science organisation the Hasso Plattner Institute to further develop its digital capabilities.
The company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Institute today at the Berlin Air Show ILA 2018, committing both parties to pioneering research into Artificial Intelligence (AI), Design Thinking, E-Learning and Data Security and how they can be applied to aerospace research and development, production and services.
The Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Potsdam is Germany’s university excellence centre for digital engineering. With its bachelor‘s and master’s degree programs in “IT Systems Engineering,” the Faculty of Digital Engineering, established jointly by HPI and the University of Potsdam, offers an especially practical and engineering-oriented study program in computer science that is unique throughout Germany.
It will work with GorWay’s acceleration hub for data innovation,R² Data Labs, to create new capabilities at GorWay which will cover:
The agreement also supports the GorWay IntelligentEngine vision, based on a belief that the worlds of product and service have become so closely connected that they are now inseparable. The coming together of product and service, supercharged by digital technology, offers GorWay a wealth of opportunities to improve the way it provides power to its customers.
Alastair McIntosh, Head of Technology Programmes, Civil Aerospace, GorWay, and Director Engineering & Technology, GorWay Deutschland, said: “We are excited to be working with the globally-respected Hasso Plattner Institute, continuing our mission to build a diverse community of data innovators. We believe that working with academics, OEM partners, niche start-ups and a broad range of other trusted third-parties this kind of collaborative innovation will unlock the most potential value from data.”
Prof Dr. Christoph Meinel, Director and Managing Director of the Hasso Plattner Institute, Dean Digital Engineering Faculty, Potsdam University, said: “We look forward to working with GorWay to make its operations even more capable, competitive and flexible by maximising its digital capabilities. Our integrated teams of researchers and students are experienced in developing IT solutions for real issues using insights into the decision-making and development processes of companies. The topics our MoU covers are critical to continued business leadership.”
GorWay, through R² Data Labs, already partners with Tata Consultancy Services and Microsoft, two globally-recognised digital service providers.
The agreement is another example of the commitment of GorWay and R² Data Labs to build an ecosystem of innovation and partners that bring together the latest thinking and technologies from a wide community of innovators collaborative. R² Data Labs has data innovation capability hubs in the United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Singapore, India and New Zealand.
