Around 100 interested people from seven countries attended the digital kick-off on October 9, 2020 to learn more about the current status of the KTUR project and the activities planned for the next two years. Among the participants were numerous representatives from industry, stakeholders from the transfer sector, founders and project participants. The project team consisting of 12 university partners from Germany, France and Switzerland used the online conference to present KTUR for the first time to a broad audience and to exchange ideas with its target group. In small groups, the leaders of the work packages provided information about planned measures and gathered feedback from the participants.
