Engineering | innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | trends of technology | Even today, the depths of the world's oceans are still largely unknown territory. With the autonomous underwater vehicle "oXeanseeker", thyssenkrupp's start-up "oXeanpedia" now plans to shed light on the darkness – to the delight of fishermen, researchers and the maritime environment.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | innovation | trends of technology | The market for private and semi-professional 3D printers is booming. Now, the new revolutionary processes are also conquering industrial production, under the term "Additive Manufacturing". But what is essential when printing highly sensitive components for industrial machines – instead of action figures? We asked someone who knows: Andreas Stapelmann, Head of the thyssenkrupp TechCenter Additive Manufacturing in Mülheim, Germany.

innovation | Worth knowing | For the most progressive minds in science, the Nobel Prize is the highest honor of their kind – and a highly-contested accolade. The American Edward Kendall, for example, only received the prize 38 years after his first nomination. Ramon Gaston was nominated 155 times, but never received it, despite his pioneering invention of the vaccine against diphtheria and tetanus. However, one thing is certain: those who received the Nobel Prize have made a difference in our world. We present to you the discoveries of five historical award winners who have become an indispensable part of our engineers' everyday lives.

innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | trends of technology | The market for the bioplastics PLA is growing – but in order to turn our back on crude oil, the industry still faces many challenges. With a new technology, we are making the production of the green plastic alternative economically attractive now.

Urbanization | Your next holiday is coming up? Our tip: Accra! From now on, thyssenkrupp will also be at home at the airport of this megacity. Our mobility experts played a key role in equipping the new Terminal 3. This way, the flight to Accra will already be an experience itself.

innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | Turning CO2 into something valuable is exactly what our major Carbon2Chem project is all about. On September 20, 2018, thyssenkrupp officially started producing sustainable methanol from metallurgical gases at the Duisburg pilot plant – a green world premiere.
