Future Through Innovation.NRW (zdi)
“Zukunft durch Innovation.NRW” (zdi for short) is a joint initiative to promote young talent in the fields of science and technology (STEM) in North Rhine-Westphalia. With around 3,800 partners from business, science, education, politics and civil society, it is the largest initiative of its kind in Europe. Across the state, there are now around 44 zdi centres (regional STEM support networks) and 50 zdi student labs at universities.

The zdi network cLEVer – Educational Region Rhein-Wupper, comprising the municipalities of Burscheid, Langenfeld, Leichlingen, Leverkusen and Monheim, aims to introduce young people to local companies and their training opportunities, and to spark their interest in STEM professions through early hands-on experience.
