Cooperation

Services

Services are mostly projects for which the companies need short-term support or would like to make use of the IWK's modern machinery and equipment. These can be consultations or material and damage analyses or, if required, we produce test specimens, e.g. in injection molding. The testing technology at the IWK is also very well equipped. Such short-term support is possible at any time.

Industrial projects research and development

We discuss your request with you, e.g. concerning new materials, new products, their optimization or technologies and their implementation. The modern machinery enables first experiments at IWK. IWK with its eight research fields offers you a broad spectrum of competences for a wide range of topics. Confidentiality of the project is of course possible.

Publicly funded R&D projects

If the discussion of your question/idea shows that it represents an important innovation for your company, but also includes a high risk potential, then public funding is also possible in addition to direct financing by your company. There are various possibilities here.
