How does a technology travel from the lab into real-world traffic? In this episode, Wolfgang Holtkamp talks with Prof. Nejila Parspour from the University of Stuttgart about inductive charging, autonomous buses, and why even the most promising innovations can stall. She explains the role of patents and risk-taking in advancing new technologies — and why universities are indispensable as a bridge between research and real-world application. From electromobility to medical engineering: wireless power transfer is reshaping entire industries. A conversation about courage, patience, and the engineers of tomorrow.
