Innovation Cells
Technically new and promising ideas need to be commercially viable and must offer significant customer benefits over existing solutions.
In 2008, a new concept for promoting innovation and reducing the time to market for outstanding new ideas was established by Alcan Global Aerospace at the campus of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale (Federal Institute of Technology), Lausanne.
The cooperation project with this Swiss university addresses lightweighting, cost efficiency and environmental challenges for the aerospace industry and other sectors.
The new innovation taskforce – called Innovation Cells – is composed of cross-functional teams with commercial, scientific and engineering experts.
