Various BTU departments and projects presented their research into climate-friendly future technologies and their undertakings in strengthening the region.

The Center for Hybrid Electric Systems Cottbus was represented at two stations on the delegation's tour, one focusing on research into hybrid-electric drives and the other on innovative production and transfer services for the regional economy.

At the first stop, the guests were able to inspect the hybrid-electric aircraft model and gain an insight into the construction plans for the new chesco building and the various functional areas of the research center.
