It provides infrastructure to develop innovative technology and products in collaboration with private corporations and research institutions, thus creating economic value and jobs. The new building acts as an ideas laboratory, talent magnet and innovation driver for the whole Seeland region and its economy. Innovation emerges where information is shared, goods are traded, assistance is provided, and inspiration is exchanged - all through social interactions. That makes a city the ideal environment to develop innovation. The challenge was to incorporate both the roughly given framework and the details, which were continuously adapted in a very dynamic process. The architects aim was to create a spatial framework for this agile business and technology environment that encourages openness and flexibility in thinking, planning, and acting.
