TIA`s areas of interestTIA`s areas of interest

• Car industry; – How to decrease the weight of the car?– mechatronic assembly (not classical

automobile assembly)– safety in the traffic

• Maritime industry: - Education in the maritime sector - Innovation and technical solution cooperation in

boat construction

• Airplane industry:– Airplanes on solar energy

• Environment and ecology– Virtual reality applications (for examplee: pollution

purposes in the sea,….)– Some parts of the car are going in the renewable

system into trash. But there are parts which can be renewed and used again, for example parts of the machine: turbo chargers,…

How can we be build a system where industry can renewed this parts?

environment …)

• Transport: – How to upraise the usage and the value of already storaged

data? Traffic Noise Barriers and photovoltaic modules (also from renewable materials – ecology, environment)

– Road risk management

TIA is interested to focus on initiatives shared with companies, innovators, knowledge based

institutions and other stakeholdersto develop with them specific supportive

instruments for R&D&I
