Cooperation offers

Contract research is the most important business field of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Its range of services focuses on the needs of industry as well as of government and society. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft develops solutions of direct practicable value to technical and organizational problems and contributes to the wide-scale implementation of new technologies. Companies of all sizes in the industrial and service sectors benefit from contract research. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft represents an important source of innovative know-how for small and medium-sized companies that do not maintain their own R&D departments. For our customers in industry we develop and optimize technologies, processes and products right up to the production of prototypes and small batch series. We offer contract research and innovations in all our application-relevant fields of expertise.
