Innovation comprises the introduction, acquisition, and successful utilization of a novelty in industry and society” (source: EU)
Public research generates excellent results in a variety of disciplines. Apart from the publication and discussion of these results in the scientific community, economic utilization of research results and project-related cooperation with industry partners are gaining importance in the global competition of research and industry locations.
Cooperation of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) results in the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) having more than 4000 scientific staff members and an annual budget of more than EUR 600 million. The variety of natural and engineering sciences covered gives rise to an enormous innovation potential and a large number of market-relevant research results. Already today, both partners are among the leading innovation partners of industry in various fields. This role shall be further strengthened by KIT.
On the institute level, many cooperation projects with industry are pursued, mostly based on personal contacts of the institute management staff. In addition, central services are offered by the KIT Innovation Department. New instruments are being established, such as the Business Club, a special communication platform, or the Karlsruhe Innovation Foundation, in which sponsors, but also investors may cooperate innovatively with the KIT.
The Innovation Department represents the central information platform and service partner in the commercialization of research results. It informs partners from industry and science about the competences and research topics covered and makes available selected services in line with the innovation process. These services extend from patenting to technology marketing to specific contracting to the support of spin-offs.
If you are interested in cooperating with the KIT, contact the person below, subscribe to our quarterly newsletter RESEARCH TO BUSINESS (subscription by e-mail) or consult our online technology market or the homepages of the individual scientific institutes of KIT.
| About the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) represents the merger of the Universität Karlsruhe with the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. Both partners are joining their forces in KIT in order to achieve an unprecedented quality of cooperation. With roundabout 8000 employees and an annual budget of about 700 million Euros, KIT has the potential of becoming a leading institution in selected science disciplines in the world.
With the decision of the Federal Republic of Germany and the federal state of Baden-WĂźrttemberg to have both institutions merge in a public corporation from 2009, the legal and political prerequi-sites have been created for the trend-setting KIT model.
The vision
KIT will become an institution of top research and excellent academic education as well as a prominent location of academic life, life-long learning, comprehensive advanced training, unrestricted exchange of know-how, and sustainable innovation culture. | |
