We create value.

As leading contract research organization we provide research and development services to our customers and partners from industry, other research organizations and universities for more than 30 years. Transferring requirements into workable and customer friendly solutions we secure a competitive edge and head start in innovation. Based on our profound experience in microsystem technology we accept challenges others don’t due to a lack of knowledge/experience or interest.


With our project work we contribute to the Fraunhofer Strategic Research Fields of Hydrogen Technologies, Resource Efficiency and Climate Technologies, Digital Healthcare and Bioeconomy.

Press Release

The future of crop cultivation?

In vertical hydroponic systems, plants literally grow upward—without soil, with controlled fertilizer input, and in a water-saving setup.

Together with an international consortium, Fraunhofer IMM developed a multi-ion monitoring system designed to automatically control nutrient input in such systems, making the use of water, fertilizer, and other operating resources more efficient.
