information technology and telecommunication in ostwestfalen-lippe, germany the blog itk-owl is not about owls, as the english reader might suspect. the acronym stands for "informationstechnologie und telekommunikation (itk)", german for information technology and telecommunication from the region ostwestfalen-lippe (owl), germany. this region hardly ever features big in the news. this is partly because the biggest cities, bielefeld, paderborn, guetersloh and muenster, are not really big cities at all and the region is considered to be a bit provincial. another reason is that the people, westfalians, are down-to-earth types who act rather than talk a lot. and there is a lot of action in owl in the field of it and telecommunication: you find big and small it companies, world market leaders and hidden champions, award-winning research such as the top cluster it's owl, and much more!
