Get to know RESEARCH TO BUSINESSCooperate
Generally, research results are still a big step away from a concrete product. For market relevance, further development of the technology, the process, or the software has to be invested. In order to close the resulting financing gap, there are technology transfer projects at KIT. KIT and an industrial partner further develop products, processes, or services until they are ready for the market. In this case, KIT invests half of its own central funds from the NEULAND Innovation Fund. Become a partner and pave the way for new technologies!
