Synergies through networking: Networks and cooperations

The Fraunhofer IST is strongly networked, both nationally and internationally. Through a number of professorships, chairs and research centers, the institute is closely linked to the Technische Universität Braunschweig. Furthermore, we are actively involved locally in the Fraunhofer Center for Energy Storage and Systems, in the Open Hybrid LabFactory Wolfsburg and in the Wasserstoff Campus Salzgitter, and cooperate with numerous research institutions and centers in the Braunschweig research region, including the Städtisches Klinikum Braunschweig (Braunschweig Municipal Hospital). Our customers also benefit from the synergies of this networking.
