Strong networks – Wide reach
Through the network of industrial research associations alone, our institute is part of a network of more than 100 other industry-supported research associations, which in turn unite over 50,000 companies from all sectors and industries under one umbrella. They are all part of the Industrial Collective Research (IGF) program. In addition, there are the more than 70 institutes of the Zuse Association, which organizes and represents our industrial research institutions at the national level. Its Saxon counterpart, the SIG e.V., has 18 members that cooperate very closely at the state level.
Through our active participation in specialized networks—from nanocarbon, sustainable packaging solutions, and medical technology to biotechnology and the Zuse Bioeconomy Cluster—we ensure our partners rapid access to expertise, technologies, and collaborative projects in a wide range of industries.
