ILWia: Testing innovation in everyday life

Healthy Ageing with the support of modern technologies – that is the guiding topic of our regional living lab ILWiA. To achieve this goal we are operating a showcase for the broad public which is equipped with various technical assistance systems supporting self-determined living and housing in old age. The showcase offers a hands-on experience of technology providing the visitors with different comprehensible use cases. We manage the lab in close collaboration with the administrative district Vorpommern-Greifswald and the non-profit association for living and housing in old age – ILWiA e.V.

The simpler application and disinfection method ensure lasting safety and permanently reduce costs. With daisygrip, every routine blood sample is taken time-efficiently and under hygienic conditions, without changing current treatment procedures.

Horn Publishing

Horn Publishing was established in 1995 in Oslo, upon request by Norway’s export councils, to create hardcopy publications that showcase the most important industries, industry organizations and companies alongside updated editorial content. The company’s method was proven so successful that Sweden, Denmark and, across the north sea, the United Kingdom, began requesting similar publications for their own leading industries. One of the publications that spawned from demand was ‘Life Science in Sweden’, a hardcover book showcasing the creative and innovative developments that have turned Sweden into a global market leader.
