Explanation:
if the word is Strikturen and not Strukturen as we are all inclined to assume, then I've found some reference to 'fractal stricture'. It seems to refer to some 3-dimensional digital model. Since it is related to the firm's vision for 2018, it may make sense... Please take a look at this http://www.measurement.sk/2003/S3/Jablonski.pdf

  -> Thanks, Penny. You are mostly likely right, but in case it is not, that's the best I could find. Structures would make more sense, I agree.

neutral  philgoddard: It doesn't get any Google hits.
