What This Opportunity Is

An applied packaging and DFM collaboration lane through Hochschule Kempten's IDF and related packaging ecosystem context, aimed at a customer-grounded packaging-machinery wedge.

Why This Is High-Value

• strongest packaging + industrial GenAI + CAD-graph signal in Bavaria
• fits the SOMIC pilot context directly
• offers a realistic path to an applied thesis or mini-project

Open Questions

• Should the first ask emphasize CAD-feature logic, engineering-doc RAG, or packaging-module reasoning?
• Is KLEVERTEC needed in the first contact path or only later?
