To be internationally competitive in the longer term the swiss industrial companies must think and react more frequently in a networked/linked way. Especially in the field of mechatronics, due to the interdisciplinarity, an actively exchange is necessary in order to generate innovations and to efficiently benefit from those innovations.
In this context the institute for Mechatronic Systems of ZHWA has taken the initiative and together with industrial partners and other universities brought to live the superregional/national mechatronic cluster Swiss Mechatronics together with industrial partners and other universities and colleges.
