Office of the Lightweighting Initiative

The Lightweighting Office supports German companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in implementing lightweighting and facilitates cross-material and cross-industry technology and knowledge transfer, providing support for specific initiatives through to broader industrial applications of lightweighting. 

As a central contact point for interested stakeholders from business, science, and government, the Lightweighting Office coordinates the digital and structural transformation of industry where lightweighting in Germany is concerned. 

The Office provides practical recommendations and best-practice examples for companies and policymakers, as well as individual assistance, creating crucial impetus and activating suitable multipliers to support public relations efforts. 

Technical collaborations at national and international level contribute to positioning Germany as a key location for lightweighting both nationally and internationally.
