First-Wave Opportunity Queue

This page captures the current prepared queue for university collaboration. Each record below has a real next move and linked work-package context, but none should be read as already owned or contacted unless the underlying opportunity page says so.

Queue Snapshot

Metric Count Note
Prepared opportunity records 6 all current records are still stage: spotted
Assigned owners 0 every current record is explicitly owner: unassigned
Contacted opportunities 0 no page currently claims external outreach

Current Queue

Opportunity Queue State Owner Target Date Why It Stays In Queue Next Internal Move
Opp-01 TUM CCBE Drawing Thesis prepared unassigned 2026-05-22 strongest local drawing-intelligence lane with direct technical overlap define first drawing benchmark slice and draft a thesis-shaped outreach note
Opp-02 HM CAE Prototype Thesis prepared unassigned 2026-05-22 fastest Munich applied CAD/CAE execution route convert the CAE wedge into a 3-6 month thesis or prototype brief around CAD-to-CAE preparation
Opp-03 FAU KBE and DFM Advisory prepared unassigned 2026-05-22 strongest public fit for KBE, tacit-knowledge capture, and explainable DFM framing draft an advisory-style outreach note focused on KBE rule capture, tacit knowledge, and explainable DFM logic
Opp-04 Kempten Packaging and DFM Pilot prepared unassigned 2026-05-23 strongest packaging + industrial GenAI + CAD-graph signal define the first SOMIC-centered packaging module or review workflow to anchor outreach
Opp-05 TU Darmstadt Digital Thread Thesis prepared unassigned 2026-05-23 strongest engineering-automation and PLM lane choose one digital-thread or change-impact use case and turn it into a thesis-sized problem brief
Opp-06 Fraunhofer ITWM Simulation Automation Project prepared unassigned 2026-05-23 strongest later-stage simulation and model-reduction lane define one simulation-automation deliverable sharp enough for a paid or funded applied-project conversation

Why These Six

  • They cover the strongest first-pass lanes across drawing intelligence, DFM, simulation automation, digital thread, and packaging machinery.
  • They still follow the report recommendation to combine TU, Hochschule, and only carefully bounded Fraunhofer lanes.
  • They are concrete enough to justify a queued record without broadening into vague "innovation" discussions.

Queue Rules

  • Keep a record here only if there is a specific ask, a linked work package, and a next internal move.
  • Do not add an opportunity just because a person is interesting.
  • Leave the owner unassigned until someone explicitly takes the lane.
  • Fraunhofer opportunities should only stay in this queue once the deliverable is sharp enough for an applied-project conversation.

Open Questions

  • Which of these should receive a real owner first?
  • Which of the six should remain first-wave versus shift to a second-wave bucket after the first shaping pass?
