Securing Progress with Innovations Made by FZI
Are you facing IT challenges in areas such as the energy transition, cybersecurity, or sustainable mobility? The FZI is your partner for innovative software, system solutions, and concepts.
Our core competencies include generative AI, healthcare, logistics, mobility, production, robotics, security, and sustainability.
As a non-profit independent foundation, we put the latest research into practice through close collaboration, in-depth expertise, and practical knowledge transfer.
Research on direct commission
Contract research at the FZI means goal-oriented research for third parties. We develop scientifically sound solutions for specific application problems and translate the latest findings into practice. The client bears the costs and receives the rights of use. Our offer also includes technology scouting, feasibility studies, and training for innovative technologies.
Collaborative research
The FZI conducts research in collaboration with companies and other research institutions to achieve a research goal. The collaboration involves central funding, mutual support, and pooled expertise, leading to valuable synergies and innovative solutions.
SMEs in particular appreciate this, as they often lack resources. Funding programs at the EU, federal, and state levels are available to support here.
