"EMPOWER as a cross-university transfer alliance in Rheinhessen/Vorderpfalz serves to strategically strengthen innovation and transfer, especially in Rheinhessen/Vorderpfalz as part of the Rhine-Main-Neckar region. Each university focuses on a transfer topic in which it already has extensive expertise. Mainz University of Applied Sciences focuses on the topic of connectivity, while the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in Mainz takes up the topic of health. The TH Bingen 's thematic focus is on sustainability. Worms University of Applied Sciences focuses on cyber security. The HWG Ludwigshafen, on the other hand, focuses on the topic of New Work. The five megatrends offer numerous interdisciplinary interface topics that require networking of the transfer activities of the universities in the transfer alliance and are processed across topics in the transfer hub. According to the transfer concept, EMPOWER pursues two strategic objectives, one of which is geared toward the non-university partner:s and the other toward the universities." https://empower.ztt.hs-worms.de/standorte/
