An underwater test site in the Baltic Sea – the "Digital Ocean Lab" (DOL) – will provide research and industry with realistic testing opportunities for new underwater technologies. Starting from an artificial reef off Nienhagen, several test areas for different scenarios are being created under the direction of Fraunhofer IGD. Around the land-based control center of the new underwater test field, the "Ocean Technology Campus" is being built in cooperation between Fraunhofer IGD, the Subsea Monitoring Network e.V. and Rostock Business. On the site of Rostock's cargo and fishing port, it will create a productive environment in which marine high-tech can be developed and tested in close cooperation between research from various disciplines and industry. Successful technology transfer should succeed even better due to the close proximity, lead to innovations faster and more successfully, and help Rostock to play a leading role on the international technology markets.
Rostock Business is in intensive talks with property owners on the site of the old abattoir as well as with interested companies and is thus actively driving forward the realization of the Ocean Technology Campus. Together with Rostocker Fracht- und Fischereihafen GmbH, the Hanseatic and University City of Rostock is endeavoring to make further commercial sites and vacant land available locally for the settlement of companies and scientific institutions.
