Focus areas of research
Wbk has the following four focus areas of research:
- Electric Mobility
- Additive Manufacturing
- Industry 4.0
- Sustainable Production
The “matrix organization” allows such individual topics to be covered on the basis of a wider pool of experience and be addressed against the context of the relevant area of research, thus facilitating a fast, comprehensive and forward-looking approach to cross-sectional topics. It is because of this approach that individual topics can be addressed from an integral perspective and can be further developed towards a specific goal.

Service Center
The wbk service centers primarily support our research departments' various tasks with technology functions and IT. Their first and foremost objective is to assist our internal employees with their specialist skills and resources to help execute projects. However, our service centers are also capable of advising and cooperating with our industrial clients. Above all, they are responsible for maintaining and saving knowledge and experience from current and completed projects to support our future graduates.
The following service centers are part of wbk:
