Good to know

  • The first step is a no-obligation consultation. Together, we’ll discuss your requirements, goals, and possible solutions. We’ll tailor the structure of our partnership to your specific needs.

  • We support your company with both smaller development projects and large-scale research and innovation projects.

  • Our initial consultation is free of charge; project costs are based on the scope and complexity of the specific task. Before the project begins, we will work with you to establish transparent agreements regarding these costs.

  • As the client, you will receive the agreed-upon rights to the developed results, as well as the necessary rights of use to inventions, intellectual property rights, and the know-how generated during the project. Fraunhofer IVV may further develop its own findings and intellectual property rights beyond the agreed-upon scope of application and use them for other research projects. As a result, new insights and technological developments are continuously incorporated into our research work – from which you, in turn, can benefit in the future.

  • Confidentiality is our top priority. Information, data, and insights from joint projects are treated as strictly confidential and used exclusively by the project teams directly involved. Upon request, we enter into non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) even before the project begins.
