SOFTWARE-CLUSTER INTERNATIONALIZATION STRATEGY (SCIKE)

Innovation through internationalization

As the leading software cluster for enterprise software, the Software-Custer continues to maintain and increase its ability to innovate, in order to expand its technology leadership in cloud-based platform and industry 4.0 solutions. This requires strong technology partnerships with the world’s most successful regions of innovation.

Within the framework of the BMBF-funded project SCIKE, the Software-Cluster therefore implements innovation projects with partners from Silicon Valley (USA), Singapore and Bahia (Brazil) from 2017 to 2020. These partner regions offer excellent living labs for data-driven projects. Application partners were found here that offer heterogeneous and interesting big data.

Services for cluster partners

As first point of contact for members of the Software-Cluster and actors in the partner regions the coordination offices Bahia, Singapore and Silicon Valley in the software cluster were founded.

The international co-ordination offices will initiate numerous events on the SCIKE partner regions and topics, and will thus offer a wide networking platform.

Through networking in Silicon Valley (USA), Singapore and Bahia (Brazil) the Software-Cluster will be able to identify potential international project partners more quickly.

The members of the Software-Cluster will be continuously informed about current developments in the internationalization of the Software-Cluster. This website and a newsletter will regularly provide information on topics such as the software-defined platforms, mobile business software for Advanced Manufacturing, IT for energy management as well other ICT-related news from the partner regions.

Concrete results will be

Application-oriented prototypes in the areas of software-defined platforms (R & D project Silicon Valley), mobile enterprise software for advanced manufacturing (R & D project Singapore) and IT for energy management (R & D project Bahia)
Extensive experience on best practices and success factors for international cluster cooperation with focus on the partner regions Bahia (Brazil), Singapore and Silicon Valley (USA)
Comprehensive insights into the potential of software-defined platforms, mobile enterprise software for Advanced Manufacturing and IT for energy management considering needs and interests of the domestic Software-Cluster and its members.
