TUM has many years of extensive experience in collaborating with industrial companies. We successfully collaborate with the industry in third-party-funded projects and numerous research and development projects.
The collaboration spans various research areas so that we maintain contacts with companies of various sizes and from numerous disciplines. Collaboration with industry can translate research into practical applications. It can have a direct impact on products, services, or processes - leading to innovative solutions that offer real added value for our society.
For researchers, there are many benefits from collaborating with industry. In addition to translating research, it can open up the possibility of looking at research topics from other angles and generating and using new application-oriented data. New interfaces with other disciplines often arise when working on interdisciplinary research topics. This collaboration thus opens up many opportunities for scientists to transfer their findings to the real world and develop innovative solutions. At the same time, specific ethical guidelines and conflicts of interest must be considered when scientists collaborate with industry to ensure the integrity of the research.
If you are also interested in carrying out projects together with companies and have yet to establish any contacts, we will be happy to assist you. TUM ForTe supports you in identifying suitable cooperation opportunities and accompanies you in initiating joint projects.
