On 26 June 2026, Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig opened its redesigned <\/b>Learning Factory<\/b><\/a>. Spanning over 400 square metres, this modern learning and experimentation centre will teach new technologies for sustainable, digital and circular production in a practical manner using batteries and electric vehicles as examples. With a total investment of over five million euros, the learning factory combines modern production technology with digital learning environments and practice-oriented teaching formats. The aim is to prepare students, specialists and managers to design future industrial production systems that are resource-efficient, digital and circular.<\/b><\/p>\n

The learning factory uses battery cell production as a practical example to demonstrate the key challenges and potential solutions in modern industrial production. Hardly any other technology links the fields of process and manufacturing engineering, digitalisation, material and energy efficiency, the circular economy and industrial transformation as clearly as battery cell production.<\/p>\n

\u201cBraunschweig is one of Germany\u2019s leading centres for battery research. The new learning factory is the ideal complement to this strong innovation ecosystem: it brings sustainable and circular production to life and accelerates the translation of scientific results into practical applications. I would like to thank the federal government for supporting this important project, as well as all our local partners who have contributed to its success. This investment strengthens Niedersachsen\u2019s position as a centre of science and industry for this key technology, creating the best possible conditions for the skilled workers of tomorrow,\u201d says Niedersachsen\u2019s Minister for Science, Falko Mohrs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new training facility, TU Braunschweig is underlining its commitment to integrating state-of-the-art research with innovative teaching methods to strengthen students\u2019 future-oriented skills. At the same time, we are actively promoting in-service training in industry using the latest processes and developments,\u201d emphasises TU President Angela Ittel.<\/p>\n

\u201cBraunschweig is at the heart of one of Europe\u2019s most research-intensive regions and has a high proportion of employees working in research and innovation,\u201d says Mayor Dr Thorsten Kornblum. \u201cThe Learning Factory further improves the conditions for ensuring that this remains the case. It strengthens Braunschweig as a centre for science and education whilst also bolstering one of the particularly strong clusters here in Braunschweig and the wider region: battery cell manufacturing. I would like to thank the State of Niedersachsen and Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig for continuing to drive all this forward with a constant stream of new, innovative ideas and concepts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Learning Factory \u2013 a hybrid learning ecosystem<\/h3>\n

The Learning Factory combines real-world production processes with digital and immersive learning environments. With more than 25 machines and systems, as well as three specialised research and learning rooms, it maps out the entire value chain of circular production. Here, knowledge is not only imparted but can also be applied immediately. Under the motto \u201cLearn. Innovate. Teach.\u201d, the Learning Factory sees itself as an open space for learning, innovation and research.<\/p>\n
