Abstract
Innovation cicles are getting shorter and own specialized and customised products increasingly define the profile of companies. Following global trends will in the long run not ensure competitiveness. A key is to invest in R&D activities. Cooperation with external research partners opens up innovative technologies and own first-in products also for SMEs, which do not maintain in-house R&D. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is strongly engaged in this technology development and transfer business. Examples taken from day-to-day project work prove the advantages for companies participating actively and investing into forefront research.
