Technology Transfer – Our offer for SMEs, suppliers and large companies

The InnovationCampus Future Mobility (ICM) addresses the ongoing transformation in the fields of future mobility and production. Through scientific excellence, interdisciplinary fundamental research, and new innovation processes, the ICM fosters the development of disruptive technologies and breakthrough innovations in complementary research areas.

Formats to increase Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), e.g., through joint pilot projects or prototype development
Low-threshold cooperation opportunities, such as exploratory research projects within our InnovationChallenges
