We research, you benefit
Empowering progress with innovations made by FZI
Are you facing IT challenges in energy transition, cybersecurity, or sustainable mobility? The FZI is your trusted partner for cutting-edge software, intelligent system solutions, and forward-thinking concepts.
Our core competencies include generative AI, healthcare, logistics, mobility, production, robotics, security, and sustainability.
As an independent non-profit foundation, we turn cutting-edge research into real-world solutions — through close collaboration, deep expertise, and hands-on 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.
Forschung im Verbund
Das FZI forscht im Verbund mit Unternehmen und anderen Forschungseinrichtungen zu aktuellen Themen mit zentraler Finanzierung, gegenseitiger Unterstützung und gebündelten Kompetenzen. So entstehen Synergien und Innovationen. Besonders für KMU ist dies attraktiv, da ihnen oft Ressourcen fehlen. Förderprogramme auf EU-, Bundes- und Landesebene helfen dabei.
