Our areas of expertise

The SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn is an interdisciplinary research and innovation campus. The digital solutions of the future are developed here in close cooperation between business and science.

Almost 40 member companies and over 30 professors from Paderborn University contribute their expertise and visions. The SICP unites the different worlds and ensures "perfect matches" when putting together project teams. We combine our expertise in the fields of AI, high-performance computing, IoT, digital security and software engineering to break completely new ground and develop intelligent solutions for innovative fields such as smart energy, advanced computing and seamless mobility.

In addition to the technological focus, we always address cross-cutting issues such as technology acceptance and human-machine interaction.

Because we are convinced that it is the intelligent combination of established technologies that creates innovation!
