Service

For companies, politics and the media, the work of the Fraunhofer Institutes, with its broad spectrum of expertise and the many institute locations, is not always easy to understand: How far has the development of a new technology progressed? Which team in which institute deals with a specific topic? Which technologies, projects and products are currently being developed in a specific area or will be of great importance in the future?

In recent years, the Fraunhofer ICT Group has established itself as a point of contact, mediator and service provider for the quick and uncomplicated answering of these questions: with the necessary information and the right experts at hand.
