German Federal Minister Visits WITec
Dec 07 2010
The German Federal Minister of Education and Research Dr. Annette Schavan, recently discovered life on the micro-scale during a visit to WITec’s headquarters in Ulm. Looking at single molecules using the
company’s nano-analytical imaging systems, Dr Schavan, said that she was impressed by the microscope technology: “The share of research and innovation in value creation is in no other industrial country as high as in Germany. For that reason companies like WITec represent the workshops for the future of our country.”
During her visit Schavan also learned about high-resolution optical and scanning probe microscopy and new developments or patents incorporated in the company’s modular product line. As a member of the bio-photonic research association Exprimage, which is supported by the German Science Ministry, WITec is involved in developing new tools for tumour diagnostics. “It is always nice to see who we are supporting with one’s own eyes. That is why I have very much enjoyed coming here”, said Schavan at the end of her visit.
