The construction sign is up, the excavation work is in progress and the carcass work will start shortly: On the Innovation Campus Lemgo, a think tank for new small and medium-sized businesses is now being created in the form of InnovationSPIN, a joint project of the city of Lemgo and the district of Lippe, the Paderborn-Lippe District Craftsmen's Association and the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts. InnovationSPIN is one of the REGIONALE22 projects within the UrbanLand OWL structural development program
The REGIONALE 2022 is successful and moves East Westphalia-Lippe positively and sustainably! This message was the focus of the UrbanLand Event on August 28, 2020 in the Schüco Arena Bielefeld.

OPEN SPACE – OPEN MIND
COOPERATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS AND THE REMOVING OF OBSTACLES CREATES RESEARCH, TRANSFER AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE FUTURE. THE BUILDING, CONCEIVED AS AN OPEN SPACE, PROMOTES THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN PEOPLE, INSPIRES THE REMOVAL OF BARRIERS AND THUS CREATES SPACE FOR INNOVATION.
Through future-oriented architecture, shared challenges and an infrastructure that invites people to do things, a lighthouse and an important think tank for the new small and medium-sized businesses in UrbanLand OWL is created. The Lippe district, the Paderborn-Lippe District Craftsmen's Association and the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts are creating an environment in which people from different disciplines can talk and share their knowledge by setting up and sharing laboratories and creative room concepts. This creates potential for start-ups and innovations beyond the individual institutions and serves as a model for the new medium-sized businesses in UrbanLand OWL.
The building concept was developed by an interdisciplinary team. The architecture follows the guiding principle of cooperation. This can be seen in the interplay of open and closed areas and future workshops, which invite people from the region to the InnovationSPIN and enable exchange. The architecture creates space for cooperation and innovation.
THE NEW CENTER AT THE INNOVATION CAMPUS LEMGO
THE INNOVATION CAMPUS LEMGO IS BASED ON THE IDEA THAT INNOVATION REQUIRES THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS BETWEEN PEOPLE. THE NEW CENTER ON THE INNOVATION CAMPUS PROVIDES A PLACE FOR THIS EXCHANGE.
With the Innovation Campus Lemgo (ICL) , an innovation ecosystem is developing - firmly embedded in the OWL region - in which education, research, business and society are linked and thus become a driver for regional growth and digital change. The ICL addresses sectors that have not been considered in this form in rural areas. The aim is to meet the specific needs of different companies with regard to digital change by means of training programs in the skilled trades and pioneering educational concepts. At the ICL, cooperation between schools of the general education system, vocational training schools, university, non-university research institutions, industry and trade is to be enabled and expanded. In this way, education, science, business and the skilled trades work together across existing barriers in an innovation chain.
The InnovationSPIN is a workshop of ideas, where education, science, economy and skilled crafts and trades come together.
InnovationSPIN is an open place with access to knowledge and technology for the entire society.
The InnovationSPIN is a model for the future world of work that breaks down barriers between actors and redesigns transfer and innovation beyond urban spaces.
The InnovationSPIN is an interface that brings skilled crafts and trades and small and medium-sized companies onto the road to the digital economy.
The InnovationSPIN is a space for start-ups and entrepreneurship beyond the individual institutions that helps to develop new small and medium-sized businesses in UrbanLand OWL.
The InnovationSPIN is an architectural flagship project which increases the attractiveness of the location and the entire region for ambitious skilled workers with its special design.
INNOVATION LABS AT CENTER STAGE
THE THREE PROJECT PARTNERS CONSTITUTE AND OPERATE INNOVATIONS LABORATORIES IN WHICH THEY
LIPPE DISTRICT: EDUCATION FOR TOMORROW
The "Digital Media Application" innovation lab , with a planned area of approx. 450 square meters, takes into account the fact that training, studies and further education will undergo fundamental changes due to digitization processes and new media. The innovation lab is to support and accompany this development.
The innovation laboratory "CareWork with a planned area of approx. 470 sqm and five special skill labs and a technically equipped sanitary unit is dedicated to professions in the fields of social work, education, health, care and domestic economy. The focus is on the qualification of skilled workers in the context of digitization and demographic change.
PADERBORN-LIPPE DISTRICT CRAFTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION:
DIGITAL WORKSHOP OF THE SKILLED CRAFTS AND TRADES
The innovation laboratory "LERN.BAR" is a digital transfer factory which creates space for new technologies. The laboratory is intended to bring together and combine technology and expertise.
The innovation laboratory "FORM.BAR" offers training courses on the technological changes in crafts and industry. The aim is to impart knowledge with a close connection to practice.
The innovation laboratory "GESTALT.BAR" is dedicated to the topic of digitization and the associated change processes along the entire value-added chain and the new application possibilities that result from it.
The project Digital Workshop of the Skilled Crafts and Trades is funded within the framework of the joint federal/state task "Improvement of the regional economic structure" (GRW).
OWL UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES AND ARTS
RAUM FÜRS MACHEN
In the "Health and Production Technology" innovation laboratory, scientists work together with students on research questions that arise at the interfaces of medical technology, digitization and new applications. The laboratory offers a research infrastructure for this purpose, in which, among others, portable ultrasound equipment and VR glasses,
a hygiene printer and a hyperspectral camera are available.
The "Mobility" innovation laboratory is oriented towards the guiding idea of a makers´ space for future-oriented mobility solutions. People from different research disciplines work together here. At the same time, the laboratory area, which will be located in a highly visible position on the first floor of the InnovationSPIN, will offer insights into the mobility of the future.
The networking of all players in InnovationSPIN is the central task of the "Science Dialogue" research area.Its core task is to develop target group-specific concepts for cooperation and to further develop InnovationSPIN as an incubator for new ideas and forms of work.
THE InnovationSPIN IN FIGURES
About 50 people will work in InnovationSPIN. There will be about 60 project work places for students, researchers and start-up teams in the coworking area.
