Success models from the competence centre for resource-conscious information and communication technology – "Green ICT @ FMD"

Abstract:
The Green ICT @ FMD competence centre combines the expertise in resource-efficient information and communication technology of 11 Fraunhofer and 2 Leibniz institutes, which have joined forces to form the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD). The competence centre offers industry a broad portfolio of services focused on the future development of ICT applications, infrastructures and components with a view to resource-efficient manufacturing, energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Various cooperation opportunities have been initiated to support a large number of companies in responding to customer needs and regulatory requirements with innovative and resource-efficient ideas and developments. We are now presenting the first results from the successful models of the "Green ICT Space" start-up and SME programme and selected "validation projects" with companies that all share the common goal of more resource-efficient manufacturing and use of ICT.
