Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan C. Aurich is the spokesperson for the focus group on value creation networks initiated by the DLR project management agency.

The Value Creation Networks focus group, together with the Methods for the Development of Digital Services focus group, originated from the Service Innovation through Digitalization topic area of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research's Innovations for Tomorrow's Production, Services and Work programme. The aim of the focus groups is to improve cooperation between the individual research projects on overarching topics and to create transparency about the research results in order to bundle synergies. This enables the research results to be made accessible to a broad public.

The Value Creation Networks focus group comprises the eight research projects

  • Cloud_Crowd
  • DProdLog
  • InnoServPro
  • MultiCloud
  • ProDis
  • SimPat
  • smartTCS
  • SOFiA
