Platform for Technology Transfer in the areas of:
Life Sciences Technologies
The life sciences bring together interdisciplinary research on the structures and processes of life—from biology and medicine to biochemistry and pharmacy. The goal is to understand biological systems and translate this knowledge into innovative solutions for diagnostics, therapy, and prevention.
Our mission is to develop groundbreaking technologies that significantly advance the fight against cancer while strengthening sustainable, modern healthcare.
Clean Tech
Clean Tech brings together innovative technologies, products, and services that make energy and resource use more efficient, thereby reducing environmental impact. The focus is on smart solutions that combine environmental benefits with economic performance. We take a technology-driven, cross-sector approach. Our goal is to balance progress and sustainability through measurable efficiency gains.
Advanced Manufacturing
Advanced Manufacturing represents the intelligent integration of cutting-edge technologies and digital processes.
Automation and data-driven analytics give rise to flexible and efficient manufacturing systems that enable the highest quality and rapid adaptability.
One example of this is our spin-off, FLEXOO: With its unique expertise in printed electronics, it is driving innovative, flexible, and future-proof production solutions.
