Technology transfer
Our technology transfer strategy is founded on two key pillars: networking and coordination, as well as market‑driven technology scouting. Closely interrelated, these pillars constitute the backbone of our end‑to‑end transfer process. This approach allows us to identify emerging materials, technologies, and applications at an early stage and to systematically translate them into viable innovations. In doing so, we ensure an effective, market‑relevant, and future‑oriented realization of innovative solutions.

More than transfer – technology transfer as a strategic engine for innovative solutions
Networking & coordination
We do not view technology transfer as a purely transactional handover process, but as a strategic enabler and key driver of innovation. Our approach purposefully brings together core competencies across materials, technologies, and applications, integrating them into a coordinated and structured innovation process.
Through targeted exchange and the close alignment of these competencies, technology transfer becomes a central connective element that accelerates the path from knowledge to application and opens up new development and business opportunities. This holistic orchestration not only ensures effective collaboration across stakeholders, but also fosters the creation of high‑impact, market‑relevant innovations that are critical to the long‑term success of our partners.
Market driven technology transfer – bridging innovation, application, and competitiveness
Market orientation & technology scouting
A core element of our innovation process is a strong and consistent market orientation. Technology transfer operates as a bidirectional mechanism: on the one hand, we systematically capture current and future market needs and translate them into targeted material and technology developments. On the other hand, we proactively position existing and emerging technological capabilities within relevant application fields to identify innovation opportunities at an early stage and generate sustainable competitive advantages.
Through this reciprocal matching of market demand and technological potential, we ensure that new developments are not only technologically advanced, but also market‑ready, application‑driven, and future‑proof.
