Advanced Project House Light & Electronics

The "Advanced Project House Light & Electronics" is the first project house outside Germany. The focus of its work is new products and technologies for the photovoltaics, display, LED, and lighting industries. The project house seeks partnerships and joint developments with institutes, and above all, with electronics companies in asia.

Fast-growing electronics segments include displays, LEDs, portable communication and information devices such as navigation devices and tablet PCs, as well as photovoltaics. The key Asian regions are China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, where a number of important R&D companies in this field have their headquarters. According to the German Institute in Taipei, Taiwan stands out among these countries as the world market leader in such products as notebooks, scanners, monitors, and LCD monitors. Evonik already maintains partnerships with Taiwanese companies through the joint ventures Evonik Forhouse Optical Polymers manufacturing acrylic polymers in Taichung for TFT liquid crystal displays, and Evonik Cristal Materials Corporation, which produces glass lenses for the next generation of LEDs.

Additional contacts will be made and cultivated through the "Advanced Project House Light & Electronics". Due to the fact that electronics and lighting are extremely fast, dynamic markets, whose innovation and product lifecycles are becoming shorter and shorter. The task of this project house is to acquaint ourselves better with customers’ processes and value chains, and consolidate our opportunities in these markets through joint developments.
