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
At the FZI, contract research means goal-oriented research for third parties. We develop scientifically sound solutions to specific application problems and implement the latest practical findings. Our other services include technology scouting, feasibility studies, and training for innovative technologies.
Collaborative research
The FZI conducts research on current topics in collaboration with companies and other research institutions, receiving central funding and mutual support to pool expertise. This creates synergies and innovations, particularly appealing to SMEs, who often lack resources. Support programs at the EU, federal, and state levels facilitate this process.
