SCO-TTi is an open forum for students, researchers, companies, and citizens where research, innovation, teaching, and technology transfer converge in the context of digitalization. The team at the Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management at HSZG brings together expertise in production and logistics in the semiconductor industry, computer science, IT, marketing, data analysis, additive manufacturing, CAD, mixed reality, and engineering education. It takes an interdisciplinary, international, and practice-oriented approach to knowledge transfer.
The Zittau campus features state-of-the-art laboratories for VR, CAD, gaming, supply chain management, video, and business informatics, which facilitate research, teaching, and collaborations with partners.
SCO-TTi is actively involved in numerous national and international projects related to digitalization—for example, in the areas of production, logistics, supply chains, augmented and virtual reality, real estate management, skills development, and digital education.
Together with my team, I lead SCO-TTi as an open space for digital innovation. Here, we pool our expertise not only to explore new technologies, but also to directly apply them in education, business, and society—thereby actively supporting the region’s transformation.

Power2Power - Efficient semiconductors for the future
Power2Power - Efficient semiconductors for the future
Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is a partner in the European research project Power2Power, which is working with 43 institutions from eight countries to develop innovative power semiconductors with higher power density and improved energy efficiency. These technologies make an important contribution to reducing global energy demand and CO₂ emissions.
Prof. Dr. Sophia Keil and her team are responsible for the work package “Automation and Logistics in the Digitalized Manufacturing of Power Electronics, ” which aims to optimize supply chains and production logistics for power electronics through automation and digitalization.
Power2Power is funded by the European research program Horizon 2020, the ECSEL Joint Undertaking, and national funding agencies such as the BMBF and the states of Saxony and Thuringia.
