Advanced Manufacturing Facilities Boasting Localized Radiation Generation Technology
In the heart of Eastern Bavaria, the Chamber of Crafts Lower Bavaria-Upper Palatinate continues to shape and strengthen the region's craftsmanship, as praised by Bavaria's Minister of Economics, Hubert Aiwanger. This merger, which took place in 1974, has proven to be a strategically sound decision, positioning the chamber as a key player that extends far beyond its regional boundaries.
The chamber's primary focus lies in the areas of training, education, and innovation. As outlined by HWK President Dr. Georg Haber and Professor Dr. Martin Burgi, the chamber plays a pivotal role in providing high-quality vocational training and continuing education, ensuring that skilled craftsmanship meets modern standards.
Moreover, the chamber supports innovation by helping craft businesses adopt new technologies and methods to stay competitive in the ever-evolving digital landscape. This is evident in projects such as '5G for craftsmanship and SMEs' and 'KINO craftsmanship', which demonstrate the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in daily business life.
The chamber also acts as a regional promoter of the craft sector, linking education and industry needs to foster sustainable economic development. It advises and guides young people and apprentices in their career development within the crafts sector and collaborates with schools, universities, and research institutions to integrate practical training with new knowledge and innovation.
The chamber's unique strength lies in the connection of business owners with employees in one and the same chamber, a characteristic that sets it apart from other organisations. This dual training system, admired worldwide, is a testament to the chamber's commitment to nurturing the next generation of skilled craftsmen.
In the face of the digital future, the chamber is often referred to as a "hidden champion" due to its frequent interaction between the state, economy, and society. The Digital Bonus, which promotes AI and robotics since July 2024, is one such example of the chamber's support as it navigates this digital transformation.
Looking ahead, the chamber is expected to continue its high-tech contributions for the next 125 years, with the further development of vocational training centers into "universities for vocational training and further education" or "vocational universities" being a notable keyword. The responsibility bearers of the chamber are elected by the plenary assembly, which adopts the budget and decides on the amount of contributions.
The chambers of crafts in Germany, including the Chamber of Crafts Lower Bavaria-Upper Palatinate, have a secure European and constitutional law basis. They make an indispensable contribution to the training and further education, thereby securing the economic location Germany. As such, the chamber remains a vital pillar of the region's economy, fostering innovation, and nurturing skilled craftsmanship for generations to come.
- The Chamber of Crafts Lower Bavaria-Upper Palatinate, as a vital pillar of the region's economy, not only focuses on traditional craftsmanship but also embraces innovation by supporting technology adoption, such as artificial intelligence, to keep businesses competitive in the digital landscape.
- In its role as a promoter of sustainable economic development, this chamber is actively involved in initiatives like the Digital Bonus, which encourages the use of AI and robotics, ensuring that its contributions extend beyond the realm of traditional economic and social policy, into the realm of advanced technology and artificial intelligence.
